Dear members,
I have a dataset in wide format where the variables are
id x73_24 x74_24 x75_24 x87_24 x99_24 x00_24
... ... ... ... ... ... ...
where the first two numbers in, for example, x73_24 indicate the year. It is a variable indicating whether there are less than 24 crimes in 1973 in city id; x00_24 indicates whether there are less than 24 crimes in 2000 in city id, and so on...
I have specified
reshape long x@_24, i(id), j(year)
after reshape stata displays
note: j=0 73 74 75 87 99
note: x0_24 not found
if instead I write
reshape long x@_24, i(id), j(year 73-75 87 99 00)
stata does not give that messagge. Is this because stata does read "00" as a "0" and thus does not recognize any x0_24?
And would be correct to apply the second specification? Looking at that the data it seems correct to me but I would like to be sure
Thank you for any help
Sara Borelli
