To make sure you get the variable names you want at the end...
rename code j
rename value code
Then this is just:
reshape wide code, i(ID) j(j)
Hope this helps

Subject: st: Reshape Question
hi all,
can anyone help me reshape my data in the following way?
Currently my data is in the following format:
ID code value var1 var2
1 110 10 5 8
1 111 30 5 8
1 115 25 5 8
2 110 28 3 6
2 111 21 3 6
3 115 32 7 6
4 110 23 9 4
4 111 45 9 4
4 115 65 9 4
and I want to convert it into
ID code110 code111 code115 var1 var2
1 10 30 25 5 8
2 28 21 . 3 6
3 . . 32 7 6
4 . 45 65 9 4
The codes reshaped from long to wide format and the values for each
codes are taken from the variable "value". Hence the variable "value"
disappears and new variables "code110 code111 code115" appears. var1
and var2 are same for each codes in a particular ID.
I am not able to figure out how to reshape it.
Regards,
John.
