Hi,
I have a straightforward data file that I want to convert into
something appropriate for a panel. An excerpt:
ISO valq1_1984 valq2_1984 valq3_1984
AFG 0 0 2
ALB 0 0 4
DZA 4 5 2
Variables types are str and int, unsurprisingly. All I wanted to do was:
reshape long val, i(ISO) j(quarter)
and I get the error "quarter contains all missing values" Huh? I
think I've done this a thousand times already and never got this
error. I suspect STATA doesn't like the variable names for the
quarters, because v2 v3 v4 works fine. What can I do to avoid this
problem?
