Look at the help for -reshape-. If I understand you correctly you want to -reshape long-. You need an identifier: it looks like pin_anonym.

Dear Statalist,
In swedish healthcare we are compensated by diagnose of the patient
treated. The the economic compensation is different if the diagnose is
primary, secondary, tertiary an so forth. I want to study the
incidence of certain diagnoses and for that purpose I need to
restructure "diagose1, diagnose2, diagnose3 and diagnose4" into one
variable (see below). The catch is that I would like to only have one
diagnose per row without changing the other variables (i.e. more rows
need to bee created). All help is highly appreciated!
variable name type format
date int %8.0g
source str3 %9s
pin_anonym int %8.0g
medenh str20 %20s
medreg str20%20s
antalbesk int %8.0g
diagnose1 str5 %9s
diagnose2 str8 %9s
diagnose3 str8 %9s
diagnose4 str6 %9s
sex byte %8.0g
birth_year int %ty
incl_year int %ty
death_year int %ty
incl_date float %td..
death_date float %td..
