[Mirriam Gee <mirrgee@googlemail.com>]

Guess my question was not clearer enough. What i want in short is to
create  20 new variables which are equal to the first observation for
each variable
Obs                         CC1               CC2                CC3
............................................................CC20
 1                              333                440
 2                              333                440
 3                              333                440
 4                              605                777
 5                              605                777
 6                              605                777
 7
 ..
 ..

Now i want to cteate
Obs                           CCC1
1
2
3
4
5
6
