Hi,

fist: I'm anything but an expert. However, the following behavior of stata after saving a dataset is a real puzzle for me. It seems to randomly drop one or two variables (out of a few hundred) after I save a file.

Example:
Imagine I have 100 variables x_1, x_2...x_100

If a run a sequence like 

forvalues k=1/100 {
quietly sum x_`k'
}

save example, replace

forvalues k=1/100 {
quietly sum x_`k'
}

I would always get an error mesage that, after saving, at least one variable is not found (while, of course, it works perfectly before saving)

I use Stata 10 SE and Windows Vista; however, I also tried Windows XP.

I would appreciate any help...
