Short answer is almost certainly Yes. You didn't specify any stubnames. So, you are confusing the syntax for an initial -reshape- and that for reversing a -reshape-. Nick n.j.cox@durham.ac.uk Amal Khanolkar I'm trying to reshape a dataset from wide to long format. The id variable is called 'lopnr' And time is specified in years (1980 to 2000) and is called 'year' I tried the following: reshape long, i(lopnr) j(year) This above doesn't work. The error I get is: 'year contains all missing values'. Do I need to specify any other varibales after long in the command line?? * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
