I believe we answered a very similar question yesterday. I provided
you with a loop that, with some modification, would work in this
situation and Scott Merryman suggested the much shorter and more
efficient solution -rename p# p#, renumber-.
Just for your convenience, here is a link to our responses from yesterday:
Scott: http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2012-11/msg00215.html
Me: http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2012-11/msg00213.html
To use Scott's solution (which is what I advise now), you would just
need to type -rename prc# shrout#-. You can find out more about this
by typing -help rename group- (my experience w/ Stata 12; you haven't
told us what verison you are using).
