Joerg,
What I mean to preserve is the description of the variable stub, in your example the x. x1 and x2 could both, for instance, be labeled as, let us say, "the x factor." When I reshape from wide to long, the description of the variable disappears. I want to simply keep that description, which I thought was called the variable label.
