st: Rehape help

[Tim Evans <Tim.Evans@wmciu.nhs.uk>]

I'm using Stata 11.2 and want to use reshape to change the layout of my data and I'm struggling a bit. My current data look like this:

Var1       startyear              Lab         
0.6692   1986                       1 1          
0.7734   1986                       2 1          
0.5548   1986                       3 1          
0.6590   1987                       1 1          
0.7526   1987                       2 1          
0.5972   1987                       3 1          

What I want to have is 

Lab         Var1Startyear1986           Var1Startyear1987
1 1          0.6692                                   0.6590
2 1          0.7734                                   0.7526
3 1          0.5548                                   0.5972

I've tried reshape with a variety of different syntax, but cant seem to reproduce how I want the data.

Any help gratefully received.

Best wishes
Tim
