Dear Neil,
thank you for you answer.
The link to the solution that I mentioned is this one:
http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2004-02/msg00140.html
However, I tried your solution, but is doesn't work.
I opened my data and my do file. Usually I click on the button for the
do file. I tried to type do myfyle, nostop
but I receive an error message: fyle myfile.do not found
what I am doing wrong?
thank you
Katia
