Statalist,
I have a data set that has mixed monthly and annual data that I am trying to reshape from a wide format to a long format. In particular the data set contains annual earnings and monthly Social Security benefit information. I can create a monthly variable for each annual earnings variable (eg, earn11990=ern1990, ern21990=ern1990, etc) and then reshape the data, but I'm wondering if there is an easier, more direct way to do this reshape.
Thanks,
Jon Schwabish
