st: Converting the values of a variable into variables

[sdm1@york.ac.uk]

Hi,

I have a data set of the form:

id datadefiniton datavalue
1   income          1000
1   age               64
1   weight           125
2   income          1500
2   age               44
2   weight           165

which I want to convert to the form:

id income age weight 
1   1000    64   125
2   1500    44   165

Any suggestions would be most welcome!

Thanks.

Steve
