you could take your "original wide data set", do
----------
. reshape long var4-var5, i(id) j(year)
----------
and -merge- the resulting data set to your current long-format data set
containing var1-var3.

st: "revise" variables in varlist after --reshape--
Hi all,
After reshape the data from wide into long, I find I forgot to include
some variables in the varlist in the --reshape long--command.
The following command is what I used:
----------
. reshape long var1-var3, i(id) j(year)
----------
Then I realized I should include two more variables:
--------
.. reshape long var1-var5, i(id) j(year)
--------
To fix this problem, I know I could go back to the original wide data
set and reshape again from the very beginning adding the variables I
forgot . But if I have done a lot of steps on the reshaped long data
already, this method means I have to redo all those again. I wonder
if there' s any better way to "revise" the reshape command in this
situation.
Thanks in advance!
Mandy
