I have data with the following structure:
list id  rec med afev  wheeze cough date agev
  +---------------------------------------------------+
  | id          dset   rec   med  afev   wheeze   cough |
  |---------------------------------------------------|
  |  2      b     1     0         -9        0       0 |
  |  2      b     2     1         -9        0       0 |
  |  2      a     1     1       1.70        0       0 |
  |  2      a     2     0       1.80        0       0 |
  |  6      b     1     1         -9        0       1 |
  |  6      b     2     1         -9        0       0 |
  |  6      a     1     0       2.08        0       1 |
  |  6      a     2     0       1.85        0       0 |
  +---------------------------------------------------+
I wish to reorganize the data so that there is one row for each ID, with 
subsets for dset (a or b) and rec (1 or 2) for each of the variables: med, 
afev, wheeze, cough.
My goal is to have:
id      med(a1)  med(b1)  med(a2)  med(b2)      afev(a1)  afev(b1) 
afev(a2)   afev(b2)
2         1             0             0             1               1.70 
    -9             1.80          -9
6         0             1             0             1             2.08 
  -9             1.85          -9
I have tried using the reshape command but each subset does not have unique 
values of the variables afev, wheeze, and cough.
I have tried using the collapse command, but I do not want to create 
summary statistics.
I have tried using the contract command, but I do not want to create 
frequency counts.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Best wishes,
Michael
