st: RE: Error when appending
I think your second line should be
append using "Followup\NKdta\merge2_v.dta"
instead of
append "Followup\NKdta\merge2_v.dta"
The -using- qualifier tells Stata that a filename is expected next.
Without the -using- qualifier, Stata assumes that your filename is a
variable list, and append does not accept variable lists.
I hope this helps.

Subject: st: Error when appending
Hi,
When I tried to append two datasets, I receive an error message,
"varlist not allowed". (Please see below for the stata screen.)
What does this mean?
Thank you so much.
*************** Stata Screen
*****************************************************
use "Baseline\NKdta\merge1_v.dta"
append "Followup\NKdta\merge2_v.dta"
varlist not allowed
r(101);
