Dear Statalisters,
I am currently dealing with a nasty problem. Try the following:
**********
clear*
set obs 100
g x14 = 0
g x2=5
rename x1 x90
**********
The last -rename- simply hijacks variable x14 and renames it x90. If I
wanted this behavior, I would say -rename x1? X90-. Should -rename- not
alert me to the fact that there is no such variable?
