Dear All,

I have a household data set with varying number of respondents interviewed
from a each household, like the following:

person hhid Age
1	1	12
2	2	25
3	2	52
4	3	62
5	4	77
6	4 	34
7 	4	32
8	4	23
9	5	18
10	5	13
:

I wanted to convert the data from rows to columns...ie...I wanted it in a
form as follows:

hhid personid1 	age1 personid2 	age2 personid3 age3 ....
1	1		12
2	2		25	3		52
3	4		62
4	5		77	6		34	.......
5	10		13

Kindly advise.

I would also like to know about some references for advanced programming in
Stata.

Thanks,


Prabhu
