Dear Statalisters,
I seem to be losing data with -reshape-. This has never happened to me before. Am I just being a total idiot? (I am running the most recent version of Stata 9 SE on a Win XP box, and yes, I rebooted).

. sysuse auto, clear
(1978 Automobile Data)

. count if price==.
    0

. reshape wide price, i(make) j(foreign)
(note: j = 0 1)

Data                               long   ->   wide
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number of obs.                       74   ->      74
Number of variables                  12   ->      12
j variable (2 values)           foreign   ->   (dropped)
xij variables:
                                  price   ->   price0 price1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

. count if price1==.
   52

. count if price0==.
   22

Sincerely,
Danielle
