st: Reshape limit

["Ashim Kapoor" <ashimkapoor@gmail.com>]

Hello everyone,

I have 3 variables value  , j1 and j2.

j1 goes from 1 to 3
j2 goes from 1 to 10032

and the data is in long form.

When I say reshape wide value,i(j1) j(j2)

Stata says that I have too many values for j2.

saying -help limits- or -help reshape- does not enlighten me.

can someone point me in the right direction ?

Thanks,
Ashim
