*** xpose ***
/*
"xpose" switchs rows and columns - i.e., it switchs observations and variables
*/
sysuse census, clear
xpose, varname clear // need to specify "clear", as data in working space is replaced
br
// Now, variables are rows, observations are columns
// String variables are lost
xpose, clear
// String variables remain lost
