Hi, Jeph,
try issuing -reshape clear- before you run your reshape. I am almost
sure this may be the case.
But if it doesn't help, could you say whether "class" has any
occurance in your dataset before reshape?
E.g. there is a variable named class, (or class1, or etc), value label
"class" or anything similar.
Best, Sergiy
