They are not weights, but observation numbers within levels of id.

Stata probably won`t like the line "bys id : replace begin[2]=end[1]" and
complain that "weights (are) not allowed"...

Hi,
Does anyone know how I can add a new record for an id in a long form
dataset?
Specifically , I have a dataset with the following structure
id begin end cens
1 1997 2006 0
2 1997 2003 0
3 1997 2004 0
3 2004 2007 0
4 1997 2006 0
and I want to add an additional record for each id in the following
manner
id begin end cens
1 1997 2006 0
1 2006 . 1
2 1997 2003 0
2 2003 . 1
3 1997 2004 0
3 2004 2007 0
3 2007 . 1
4 1997 2006 0
4 2006 . 1
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Marcus
