st: Reshape with prefix using a varlist

Hi all,
I want to reshape long data to wide, putting the 'j' string variable
at the begging of the stub.
This would be fine if I have a limited number of variables as i can
just use the @ function.
reshape wide @var1 @var2 @var3 @var4, i(instit year) j(LEVEL) string
But this does not work if i use the variable list functionality of
reshape. I would like to know if their is an easier way of doing this,
rather than typing in all 244 variables preceded by @.
reshape wide @var1-@var244, i(instit year) j(LEVEL) string
Any ideas?
Best regards
Richard
