The smarter solution is :
. reshape wide var,i(id) j(time)
You obtain two variables var1 and var2 to easy to rename var_t1 and var_t2

Hi Sascha,
there might be smarter solutions, but why don't you just separate the data
into different files, e.g.
use data
drop if time==1
save datatime1
use data
drop if time==2
rename variables ...
sava datatime2
and then merge it using your id variable... (see -help merge- for this).
Best,
Chris

Hello
I would like to reshape some data. Now it looks something like this:
id    time    var
1     1       x
2     1       y
1     2       z
2     2       w
I would like to change it to
id    var_t1    var_t2
1     x         z
2     y         w
Any hints?
Kind regards,
Sascha
