Hi,
I would like to change of my data format using reshape. it seems, it is a great function however my variable names are a bit problematic. I have the following example

CompanyId, Tobin2000, Tobin01, Tobin02, Sales2000YE, Sales2001YE etc. All variables are on yearly basis.

Some variables have 01 for 2001, 02 for 2002 but some of them have exactly 2001, 2002 etc. Not sure, how I can use reshape command? 

my command below:


"reshape long Tobin sales@YE, i(Companyid) j(year) string"  does not help because stata creates both 01 and 2001. 
 
 
kind regards
