Hi Nick,
lets say the data looks like this:

id____isspread____start____end____transaction
1_____1___________3________6______.
2_____0___________.________.______5
3_____1___________2________5______.
4_____0___________.________.______5.5



now what I want Stata to do is to tell me (for example by creating additional variables that contain the ids) that ids 2 and 4 occured between start and end date of observation 1 (5 and 5.5 are between 3 and 6) and that id 2 occured between the start and end date of spread 3 (5 is weakly between 2 and 5).
A perfect result of the procedure would look like this:

id____isspread____start____end____transaction____tr1___tr2
1_____1___________3________6______.______________2_____4__
2_____0___________.________.______5______________._____.__
3_____1___________2________5______.______________2_____.__
4_____0___________.________.______5.5____________._____.__


Best, Jens
