No need:
If I am in a directory, say C:data\scholar\Hannah, and I type
-cd Hannah-
I get an error message, as one might expect.
I am just learning to use .do files for the bulk of my analyses and data
manipulations, a la Svend Juul's great book. I usually try to -cd- to
the relevant project directory somewhere near the begining of a .do
file, then open the data file.
But if I am *already in* that directory when I run the .do file, Stata
gives the same sort of error:
cd Hannah
unable to change to Hannah
r(170);
end of do-file
Just do
capture cd Hannah
