Alan,
thanks for your answer.
Seems to make sense because the figures stored in the variable for which the
message appeared are indeed bigger than all the others.

Betreff: Re: st: reshape: message values would be changed, not changed
Thomas Erdmann ([email protected]) asked about a message he received
from -reshape-:
> Reshaping (original data in .csv format) from wide to long I get the
message
>
> " xxx values would be changed; not changed "
> for some years of my item named "offbs" (offbs2006, offbs2005 ...), all
the

makes

This can happen when the types of the variables being reshaped differ.
For example, if the first variable of a set being reshaped from wide
to long is type 'float' and another variable is type 'double' and
contains a value that would lose precision if it were stored as a
'float', this message can appear. This note is not important and
probably should be suppressed; we will verify there are no cases in
which it conveys something potentially important to the user and
change it in a future ado-file update.
