st: reshape command error

Hello Stata users:
I'm not very experienced in STATA; trying to learn it. I cannot see the problem with my reshape command. I have a dataset with multiple rows per id. Each client has unique problem types (this is a social services dataset). I want to reshape the dataset into one row per client.
My data looks like this:
Id probnum obs
1 1 1
1 12 2
1 14 3
1 39 4
1 40 5
1 49 6
My code is this:
reshape wide probnum, i(fid) j(obs)
I keep getting the error message: problem not constant within id.
What am I missing?!
Many thanks,
Tehout
