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. ...

A way to do it us to create one -rec- variable from -dset- and -rec-,
and next drop -dset-:
replace rec=rec+10 if dset=="a"
replace rec=rec+20 if dset=="b"
drop dset
reshape wide med-cough , i(id) j(rec)
Hope this helps
