Patricia,

The following commands will do. The purpose of -obsno- is to make sure
that the sort order within subjects is preserved; you might have a date
variable to take care of that.

--------------------------------------
gen obsno=_n
sort id obsno
by id: gen emp2=2 if employ[1]==2
keep if emp2==2
--------------------------------------

Hope this helps

Svend
