What are you trying to do exactly? Why do you need to reshape v034x from wide to long? The only reason I can see for doing this would be to create a couples file where you match husbands and wives together. If that is the case, then, after reshaping v034x, you can simply drop all cases where v034x==. This will leave you with a file of women and men that you can then merge with the original file (v001 v002 v003 in the original file will match with v001 v002 v034x in the reshaped file). You will also have to do quite a lot of either renaming or cloning of variables for the characteristics of the couples so you have separate variables for each half of the couple.
