st: decoding patterns for xttrans or other regression models

Hello
I have the data set, where each observation has the following format:
item#,state_history,start_month,end_month
1,111232100,201001,201009
2,1232100,201002,201008
The second column is similar to what is produced by -xt- commands with
-pattern- option.
I need to convert the above compressed format into:
1,1,201001
1,1,201002
1,1,201003
1,2,201004
1,3,201005
1,2,201006
1,1,201007
1,0,201008
1,0,201009
2,1,201002
2,2,201003
2,3,201004
2,2,201005
2,1,201006
2,0,201007
2,0,201008
because I think that -xttrans- and -logit- commands would need in this
format, i.e.
item#,state,month
is there an easy way of doing this in Stata? I've been decoding the
history field outside Stata 11 so far, but maybe it can do it for me.
cheers
