create new rows based on existing rows.

[brm]

For each record in test(dataset) we have to create five records in new dataset(final)

ex:in test(dataset) 1st record

Account            Milestone Period  
SDI                   2011Q2

Based on test(dataset) we have to create another dataset Final(dataset) with 5 records.

Account              Milestone Period      Measurement

SDI                    2011 Q2                 Approval Rate
SDI                    2011 Q2            Days to Approval
SDI                    2011 Q2                 Fulfillment Rate
SDI                    2011 Q2                 Days to Ship
SDI                    2011 Q2                 Compliance

We have to repeat this all records in dataset(test).Can someone suggest me how to do this?

Thanks,
