I can't imagine a reason for wanting this but the following code will do so (but in new variables).
levelsof indice, l(i)
qui gen newindice = .
qui gen newyear = ""
local j = 1
foreach index of local i {
levelsof year if indice == `index', l(yrs) s(", ")
qui replace newindice = `index' in `j'
qui replace newyear = "`yrs'" in `j'
local j = `j' + 1
}

Subject: st: data reorganization
Dear all,
I have a question regarding how to re-organize my data on stata.
Here is how the data currently looks:
Indice Year
1 1990
1 1991
2 2000
2 2001
2 2003
3 1995
3 1996
4 2002
Would it be possible to re-arrange the data so that I would have the following:
Indice Year
1 1990, 1991
2 2000, 2001, 2003
3 1995, 1996
4 2002
Any suggestion would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Arina
