st: Data management

[<suryadipta.roy@lawrence.edu>]

Hi,

I have a (panel) dataset for around 100 countries for a 
period of 15 years (on average) and I have the average 
values of some variables that are same for all the years. 
I am trying to reduce the data to a single year for each 
country and the "drop in" command for each country seems 
to be too repetitive and labor-intensive. Can someone 
suggest another way in which I can get the data for a 
single year for every country?

Thanks,
Suryadipta.
