Subject   st: IPUMS data open issue
Date   Thu, 16 Feb 2012 17:45:49 +0000

I received data from IPUMS and am attempting to open in STATA.  Below is the .do file I am using.  It can not recognize the file, I am hoping someone will be able to point me in the right direction.  I have double-checked the directory and it is correct.
The Error message that I receive is below the .do file.  Thank you in advance for any help.
