Dear Statalisters,

I'm including below my data as it is now and what I want to get. The
data is sorted based on "id" and "year" in ascending order. There are
115 different "id", so "id" ranges from 1-115. "year" ranges from 1974
to 2001 although data is not available from 1974 for all observations
(as you can see below). Basically, I want to create this new variable
"years_code" that captures the number of consecutive years the same
code occurs (as shown below). As you can see, "code" sometimes changes
for a given "id".



Data currently				What I want			
id	year	code		id	year	code	years_code
1	1994	6		1	1994	6	0
1	1995	6		1	1995	6	1
