BTW, Elena, it is rare for Stata users to -reshape wide-, b/c Stata just
loves the long format. What is it that you can do with the wide format that
you cannot do with the long one?

I have a dataset with multiple identifiers(id2 and id). Here is an
example of it:
 
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
       |  id   year          x   county        vars   varlabel    id2 |

I want to reshape the variable x wide. I typed the command

reshape wide x, i(id2) j(varlabel)

but there are 5 distinct values for j = 1,2,3,4,5 associated with each
value of id2 in my dataset. How do I proceed to have this dataset
reshaped with x being wide and the j variables unstacked. My final
dataset should look like this

ID | Year| Suic|West|Central|Pop!Mount|
1    1979  ....     ...      ...        ...    ...

Thank you for all the help you can give me on this. Elena
