Try this:

> dummy
  id code value
1  1   hi  10.3
2  1   lo   5.2
3  2   hi  19.4
4  3   hi  20.0
5  3   lo  12.0
6  4   lo   5.8

> reshape(dummy, idvar='id', timevar='code', direction='wide')
  id value.hi value.lo
1  1     10.3      5.2
3  2     19.4       NA
4  3     20.0     12.0
6  4       NA      5.8
