No more ideas, sorry. Try Stata tech support but expect questions
about your dataset.

Dear Nick,
Thank you for your response to my question about the reshape error.
Stata gives me no information except: "Long not allowed. r(101)." I
have confirmed that the id variable uniquely identifies the rows
(using reshape error). I have also made sure that none of the data
were in string format. I have been working on Stata SE/11.2, but
I've also tried this on a subset of the variables using Stata IC/7.
I have checked and rechecked the variable names to be sure that the
tags are correct. I just can't seem to figure out how to get this to
work. Any other thoughts? I've included a brief summary of my
original question below for clarification.
Thanks,
Rebecca

I have renamed all 900+ variables such that the prefix is jXX
representing each judge and the endings of the variables are _qXX
representing the questions. I have attempted the following reshape
command:
reshape long @_q1a @_q1b @_q2 @_q3a @_q4 @_q5 @_q6 @_q7 @_q8 @_q9
@_q10 @_q11a @_q11b @_q12 @_q13 @_q14 @_ret, i(id) j(judgeid) string
I get an r(101) error along with "Long not allowed."

This works:
set obs 10
gen id = _n
gen j1_q1 = ceil(10 * runiform())
gen j1_q2 = ceil(10 * runiform())
gen j2_q1 = ceil(10 * runiform())
gen j2_q2 = ceil(10 * runiform())
reshape long @_q1 @_q2, i(id) j(judgeid) string
On the face of it yours is just bigger.
Is Stata telling you nothing about the error message? Have you tested
. isid id
