Hello,

hopefully someone of you can melp me with changing a dataset of the following 
structure:

(containing values of var2 by var1 and year)
year:	1991	1992	1993
----------------------------
var1
15   	8.58	8.76	9.53
16	1.01	.91	.9
17	.89	.75	.72
18	.39	.3	.3
19	.28	.23	.16
20	.52	.5	.6
21	.65	.56	.58
22	.89	1.07	.9



...into this one:

var1	year   var2
15	1991   8.58
16	1991   1.01
17	1991   .89
18	1991   .39
19	1991   .28
20	1991   .52
21	1991   .65
22	1991   .89
15	1992   8.76
16	1992   .91
17	1992   .75
18	1992   .3
19	1992   .23
20	1992   .5
21	1992   .56
22	1992   1.07
15	1993   9.53
16	1993   .9
17	1993   .72
18	1993   .3
19	1993   .16
20	1993   .6
21	1993   .58
22	1993   .9


This means that at first the new variable "year" which contains the first line 
of the data set but from the second column on must be built;
and secondly, the values stored in the third and forth column should be 
appended to the existing data set.

Thanks a lot in advance!
