transposing data

I am trying to transpose a data file that has 26,000 rows and ~300 columns.

I got this error:


. xpose, clear varname
no room to add more variables
    Up to 5,000 variables are currently allowed, although you could reset the maximum using set
    maxvar; see help memory.
r(900);

I am not sure how to change the settings on my computer after reviewing the "help memory" link.

help...?

Try typing the following into your command line: 

(first clear any data that is loaded)


clear

set maxvar 50000
