Hi.
I wondered if anyone had encountered the following error message & how they dealt with it:
no room to add more variables
An attempt was made to add a variable that would have resulted in more
than 2048 or 2047 variables (Stata reserves one variable for its own use).
You have the following alternatives:
1. Drop some variables; see help drop.
2. If you are using Stata/SE, increase maxvar; see help maxvar.
r(900);
For a number of different scenarios of a meta-analysis, I am simulating 1000 datasets - these datasets contain up to 100 observations (the primary studies in the meta-analysis) and 15 variables.
Each dataset is meta-analysed and the results are posted to a file. This file of results then contains 1000 observations and 24 variables.
Any suggestions on why I might be getting this error message would be appreciated.
