Ines:
Apparently you are trying to estimate a fixed effects regression by adding 
dummies. A better way of doing the fixed effects regression is -xtreg- with 
the fe option. see: -help xtreg- and the entry for -xtreg- in the xt manual.

HTH,
Maarten

Subject: st: mat size

Dear list-members,

I am trying to run a OLS regression with panel data (8240 observations) 
The explaining variable have 1203 categories

I estimate the following model:
    set mem 50m
    set matsize 800
    xi: reg perform i.codempr
but the outcome is:

i.codempr         _Icodempr_1-1203    (naturally coded; _Icodempr_1 omitted)
matsize too small
    You have attempted to create a matrix with more than 800 rows or columns
or to fit a model with more than 800
    variables plus ancillary parameters.  You need to increase matsize using
the set matsize command; see help matsize.
r(908);
