Hi,
I need to write out multiple (three) lines of information for a single
record. Some of the same variables would be repeated across the lines of
raw data. (In case you're interested, I'm creating a file with multiple
data structures for aML.)
Basically I need a file that looks like this:
id counter y1 x1 x2
id counter y2 x1 x3
id counter y3 x1 x4
where counter identifies the different record types. Currently, the data
are in stata with one record per id. X2, X3, X4 may not have the same
dimension.
One option would be to create multiple raw data files and to manually
concatenate them. I'm doing this now, but it's a bit of a nuisance.
Is there a way to do this with -outfile-?
thanks,
Michael Foster
