These questions tend to be dependent on many details. I suggest that you spell out the operating system and the version and flavour of Stata you have. The output from -about-, minus the licensing information, would be a start.

My memory details and syntax are the following:

set maxvar 30000
set mem 1g
set more off
                                                  bytes

I think that I have enough memory however, I have tried to extend  memory more than 1g but I can't. 
What could be the problem?
