As Nick said, you never really want to tie your hands by logging as .txt,
because Stata can -translate- its .smcl log to txt afterwards as in
*********
log using mylog, name(newlog)
sysuse auto, clear
reg p w r
log close newlog
translate mylog.smcl mylog.txt
!start mylog.txt
*********

Tu,
Use the extension "txt" when you specify the name of the log file and
add the -text- option.
. log using filename.txt, text

Hello,
Could anyone please help me resolve this issue:
In STATA when I try to create a log file using the command -- log using
filename.log -- a SAS log file is automatically created (I have both SAS
and STATA installed in my computer). In brief, it seems that only a smcl
log file could be created in STATA, but not a text log file.
What should I do to fix this problem?
Thank you,
Tu Nguyen
