st: Reshape, Duplicate Observations

[abiswas@clarku.edu]

I have a dataset with multiple observations (both unique and duplicate)
for each identifier HID. Here is an example

                           Table 1

        HID    DATE       FD

  1.     A   01/03/2005    0
  2.     A   04/05/2006    1
  3.     B   02/03/1999    0
  4.     B   09/07/2004    1
  5.     B   09/07/2004    0
  6.     C   05/02/2004    0
  7.     C   03/11/2004    1
  8.     D   05/08/1998    0


I have another dataset (already reshaped widely) as follows

                           Table 2

      HID    NID1   DIST1   NID2   DIST2

1.	A      B     .75      C     .25
2.	B      D     .35      A     .75
3.	C      E     .65      A     .25
4.	D      B     .35              .


Now, I want to gather information by HID on a set of other variables DATE
and FD so that each observation in Table 2 contains information on HID
DATE NID* and their corresponding dates, DIST* and FD*. I am not allowed
to drop the duplicate observation (obs. 4 & 5) since each of them contains
important information. The outcome table that I am looking for is as
follows

                                                                               Table
3

 HID    DATE    FD NID1 DIST1 DATE1    DATE2   DATE3    FD1 FD2 FD3 NID2
DIST2 DATE* FD*

  1.  A   01/03/05   0   B   .75 02/03/99 09/07/04 09/07/04  0    1   0  
C   .25
  2.  A   04/05/06   1   B   .75 02/03/99 09/07/04 09/07/04  0    1   0  
C   .25
  3.  B   02/03/99   0   D
  4.  B   09/07/04   1   D
  5.  B   09/07/04   0   D
  6.  C   05/02/04   0   E
  7.  C   03/11/04   1   E
  8.  D   05/08/98   0   B

Basically, my plan is to know for each group (obs.) of HID and DATE the
corresponding NIDS which are within a year from the DATE and their
corresponding total number of FDs. That?s why I think I need to go through
Table 3.

Thanks in advance.
