BTW, Elena, it is rare for Stata users to -reshape wide-, b/c Stata just
loves the long format. What is it that you can do with the wide format that
you cannot do with the long one?

I want to reshape the variable x wide. I typed the command
reshape wide x, i(id2) j(varlabel)
but there are 5 distinct values for j = 1,2,3,4,5 associated with each
value of id2 in my dataset. How do I proceed to have this dataset
reshaped with x being wide and the j variables unstacked. My final
dataset should look like this
ID | Year| Suic|West|Central|Pop!Mount|
1 1979 .... ... ... ... ...
. .
. .
. .
1 2006
2 1979
.
.
.
2 2006
... ... .... .... ... ... ...
