I have a dataset with id, release_dare, and a a variable called datenum

Id $4
release_date mmddyy.
Datenum $4

There are several rows per id since each can have many release dates.

I want to create a one row per person with the following:

Id, month1-month24 that each contains the datenum variable for the corresponding month of the release from release_date. If there sre 2 or more on the same month, concatenate the datenum.

So if i have this as input:

Id, Release_date, Datenum
1, 03/02/11, 1245
2, 01/01/11, 3423
2, 01/10/11, 5432

At the end, i want this

Id, month1, month2, month 3......month24
1, , , 1245, .......
2, 34235432, ,.....
