List of institutes

[Deepanshu Mishra]

Hiii,
I have data of various institutes month wise. There is a column named institute code and another column named institute name. The data is month wise so there are repeated institutes. I want list of Institute with there code in next column. Could any one help me out with this??. I tried list command it didn't work.
Thank you.

Maybe something like

egen byte first = tag(institute_name institute_code)
list institute_* if first, noobs abbreviate(20)

or

bysort institute_name institute_code: generate byte first = _n == 1
list institute_* if first, noobs sepby(institute_name) abbreviate(20)
