Subject   st: creating a variable equal to the last number of another

Dear listers:
I have a variable (occupational code) that takes values 1 to 10000 but
always finishes in 1, 2, 3 or 4 (qualification level). I need to create a
new variable with this last numbers (qualification level) so my new variable
takes values 1 2 3 and 4 (the original variable has no puncts or commas
separating the figures).
Is there a way to do it?
Thank you very much

Asunto: st: Reshaping dataset


My dataset is currently in the following format:

YEAR    VARIABLE_1_company1-VARIABLE_1_company190 VARIABLE_2_company1
VARIABLE_2_company190 and so on for about 10 variables
2000
2001
.
.
.


Is there any way to reshape it, within STATA, in the format:

YEAR COMPANY    VARIABLE1 - VARIABLE10
2000 Company 1
.
.
2000 COmpany 2
.
.
2000 Company 3
etc

Thnaks in advance for your assistance,
