Hi All!
When I call Stata 8.0 from the Start Menu, I am presented with this
information:
Single-user Stata for Windows perpetual license:
Serial number: ***********
Licensed to: Elmer V Villanueva
Personal Installation
Notes:
1. (/m# option or -set memory-) 10.00 MB allocated to data
2. (/v# option or -set maxvar-) 10000 maximum variables
The memory and maxvar options were set permanently previously.
When I call Stata by double clicking on Stata file, this is what I get:
Notes:
1. (/m# option or -set memory-) 1.00 MB allocated to data
2. (/v# option or -set maxvar-) 32766 maximum variables
.. use "C:\data 01.dta"
Consider how the -set memory- value has changed. When I double click on
a large file (say 200,000 observations), Stata spits out an error
message that memory's too low. All's fine if I were to call up Stata
from the Start Menu and open the file using command line syntax.
Stata seems to remember -set memory- settings differently depending on
the way you call up the program. Does anyone know why this would happen?
More importantly, how do I get around this.
Thanks,
Elmer
