You should:
reshape long conle lable ldmle othle , i(id) j(year)
Apart from that: I suspect that you will get a problem with the
years 98,99,00;
You might want to rename:
rename conle00 conle100
to get increasing years.
To reiterate what Svend (and Nick) have suggested: your use of
stubs instead of variable names with -reshape- is the source of the r
(111) error message. However, in my experience Svend's conjecture is
also correct: Stata tends not to recognize the crossing of centuries
with two-digit years. You might consider first renaming your data
series with -renvars-, such as:
renvars *99, postsub(99 1999)
renvars *00, postsub(00 2000)
etc., which will save some time over a series of individual -rename-
commands. IMO, the -test- option on -renvars- is particularly useful
in cases like this one. Hope this helps.
