Actually there is no need for a separate(2) program since -reshape will
covert the data into a wide format
Example:
use http://www.stata-press.com/data/r8/grunfeld.dta
This data set is in "long" format. In order to use -sureg- you need to
transform the data into a "wide" format.
reshape wide invest mvalue kstock year, i(time) j(com)
sureg (invest1 mvalue1 ) (invest2 mvalue2)
