"Combing" is at best a typo for "combining" and a recent accident from
someone else; no call to repeat it.
In any case, please use imformative titles.
As to what commmand you should use, sounds like -generate- or a Mata
function to me.
The restriction to one amount per observation is no restriction, really.
