Thanks, Allin,
Really what I want is to convert wide data to long. Which SPSS can
do. As I don’t want to teach the students two packages, I think I
will teach them how to manipulate the data in excel first and then
read it in.
I think you're right regarding wide and long "formats" (also calles
structures, layouts, and so forth). Stata seems to have the "reshape"
command for that. Maybe we could expand on Allin's code suggestion to
offer (eventually) a tool to help with the conversion.
cheers
