I will do that, but before changing to the long stucture I think it
could be easier to merge the observation with the same date. This
means that if to datecolumns are equal I would like to merge the
corresponding content columns. How can I write a loop that compares
every var9 var12; var12 and var15 and if equal merge var8 and var11
and so on.
