Subject:      restructure / generate variables
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Hello fellow listers.
I have another very basic question - (too simple to be answered in manuals)
I need to restructure a data set and create cases; I couldn't work out a syntax that works that displays data in another file
 
My original data set has the following structure (varF and varM are simply gender frequencies)
varAge  varF      varM
20         1          2
21         0          0
22         1          0
23         1          1
24         0          1
 
but should ideally look like
varID     varAge  varGender (F=0,M=1)
001       20         0
002       20         1
003       20         1
004       22         0
005       23         0
006       23         1
007       24         1
 
As always, any help is greatly appreciated,
Sabina
