No. That is not correct.

Read:
http://www.exelisvis.com/docs/REFORM.html

The very first line of the description (actually, the only line) says:
<quote>
The REFORM function changes the dimensions of an array without changing
the total number of elements.
</quote>

If you start with A=[200,200] and you want B=[200,200,100] (i.e. 100
sets of 200x200 arrays) then REFORM is not the command to use.

I think you want REBIN:
http://www.exelisvis.com/docs/REBIN.html

IDL> a=lindgen(4,4)
IDL> print, a
0 1 2 3
4 5 6 7
8 9 10 11
12 13 14 15

Now create 10 "copies" of a, stacked into a 3-D array:

IDL> b=rebin(a,4,4,10)

IDL> print, b[*,*,0]
0 1 2 3
4 5 6 7
8 9 10 11
12 13 14 15
IDL> print, b[*,*,6]
0 1 2 3
4 5 6 7
8 9 10 11
12 13 14 15
