Hi,

I'm trying to understand how to solve a particular data mangement problem.

I have a dataset containing groups (SESSION) of couples and singles. Each
record within a group is made of several variables; among them: SESSION, ID
(the unique identifier whithin each group); AGE and PARTNER. PARTNER is
either missing or is the ID of another person of the same group.

What I am trying to achieve is to create the self-explanatory variable 
AGE_PARTNER.
Any suggestion? Thanks in advance for your help.
