st: Saving the "j" values in a local after reshape

Dear all,
when using -reshape-, is there any way to save the levels of the "j" variable?
To make my question clearer: a typical -reshape- command will return the output
*** begin output
. reshape wide inc, i(id) j(year)
(note: j = 1980 1982 1983 1987)
Data wide -> long
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** end output
So the question is: can this list of numbers (in the example above,
"1980 1982 1983 1987") be saved as a local, for future use?
Thanks in advance,
Davide
