Re: st: Inserting non blank observations multiple times

Here's one approach:
****************
clear
**create fake data:
input str10(v1)
original1
original2
original3
end


**
levelsof v1, loc(o)
foreach v in `o' {
	g `v' = "`v'"
	}
keep in 1
set obs 762

forval n = 2/`=_N' {
	foreach v of varlist original* {
	  replace `v' = "new`=`n'-1'" in  `n'
	}
   }
drop v1
stack original*, into(all) clear	
****************
