what other variables you have in your data?
There is no point to reshape something with only year and I'd
And you don't need to convert yr into string as Stata will take care of that.

Hi Statalisters:
I'm having some problems with reshape, probably something really simple.
I have a long dataset with two variables: caseid yr. I want to reshape to wide,
so it would be: caseid y1999 y2000 y2001 etc.
caseid is a string variable, so I've converted yr to a string as well.
I do:
reshape wide yr, i(caseid) j(yr) string
and I get:
(note: j = 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010)
variable yr not found
Any advice?
Robin
