That is exactly what my earlier code
*************
//Put first observation into new CCCs
forv i=1/20{
gen CCC`i' =CC`i'[1]
}
*************
does.

Betreff: Re: st: RE: generate
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
