Dear statalist
Hope all's fine.
I am trying to reshape data that has the following form---
date variable1ab variable2cd
1 q w
2 e r
Assume the variable variable1ab is labelled A B, while variable2cd is
labelled C D (actually strings, though)
Finally I would like the data to be of the following form
date var1 var2 value
1 A B q
2 A B e
1 C D w
2 C D r
I feel the solution might lie in the commands -ds- or Nick Cox's
-findname- together with -reshape- but I am just unable to see how.
Any ideas?
Best wishes
Abhimanyu
