st: Duration and panel data

["miguel foguel" <m_foguel@hotmail.com>]

Dear all,

I'm struggling to convert a duration-type data set (survival data) into a 
"discretised" montlhy panel data. For example, suppose that one individual 
(id) displays for his first observation: (entry=1Sep1994; exit=31Oct1994; 
failure=1), and for his second observation: (entry=1Nov1994; exit=30Nov1994; 
failure=0). I want to arrange these in a typical (long) panel data shape, 
where I'd have:

id    monyear    failure
1    Sep1994      1
1    Oct1994      1
1    Nov1994      0

I've tried many different things but none has worked. Do you have any 
suggestion? Thanks a lot.

Miguel
