*------------------- begin example -------------------------------
drop _all
input id   time   died   TREAT1  TREAT2   TREAT3    TREAT4
      1    42     0      5       17       23        8
      2    56     1      9       3        22        16
      3    12     1      7       11       6         .
end
stset time, failure(died) id(id)
stsplit period, at(6 12 24)

bys id (period): gen treat = TREAT1 if _n == 1
forvalues i = 2/4 {
	bys id (period): replace treat = TREAT`i' if _n == `i'
}
list
*----------------------- end example ----------------------------
(For more on how to use examples I sent to the Statalist, see
http://home.fsw.vu.nl/m.buis/stata/exampleFAQ.html )

In the code above I made a variable treat, in subsequent analysis you
use the variable treat instead of TREAT1-TREAT4.

Hope this helps,
Maarten
