I want to reshape the following data to make it panel:

Is there any way to do this? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You could try something like the following.
reshape long status, i(ID) j(discard) string
generate int yearmonth = monthly(substr(discard, 2, .), "YM")
format yearmonth %tm
drop discard
