I'm working with a multiply imputed dataset (so I have 5
poverty variables to account for missing values). I
used the -reshape long- command to make each imputed
variable it's own case (so now, for each case, I have it
listed 5 times each with 1 imputation of income).
Getting the format right using -reshape is not that easy.
You could use -mimstack- to take care of that. You can
install it by typing in Stata: -ssc install mimstack-.
There are also discussions of -mimstack- in John B. Carlin,
John C. Galati and Patrick Royston (2008) "A new framework
for managing and analyzing multiply imputed data in Stata"
