Hi all,
I have two variables "msa" and "ind" representing US metro areas and industries, respectively. I want to create a data set where each msa has an observation for each industry. 
I have: 
msa	ind
1	001
2	003
3	005
4	007
5	009
And would like:
msa	ind
1	001
1	003
1	005	
1	007
1	009
2	001
2	003
2	005
ect.
I'm sure there's a simple solution, but I'm having trouble thinking of one.
Thanks,
Mike
