>> I ran an example of vecrank for my students with 3 variables and 150 observations. Everything worked fine with either Stata/IC or Stata/MP. But when my students, using small Stata, run the same command, they get the "too many literals" error, r130. I'm not sure what's going on inside vecrank, but would appreciate knowing about a work around.
