I use Stata 7SE on a Mac. I have a difficulty with the command "log
begin" in the tool bar when the name of a directory includes letters
with accent.
For instance, the name of one of my directories is
":Macintosh_HD:Recherche:GEU/Fertilit�:Article fertilit� JGOBR
2002:fertil.dta"
When I prompt "log begin", and choose the preceding directory, Stata answers :
. log using ":macintosh_hd:recherche:geu/fertilit:article fertilit
jgobr 2002:untitled.smcl"
You can notice that letters with accent have disappeared (capital
letters have also been changed in small ones).
This results thus in an error message :
file :macintosh_hd:recherche:geu/fertilit:article fertilit jgobr
2002:untitled.smcl could not be opened
r(603);
This problem does not occur when I prompt the "Do" command in the
tool bar. For instance, when I choose a do file in the same directory
as before, Stata answers correctly :
. do ":Macintosh_HD:Recherche:GEU/Fertilit�:Article fertilit� JGOBR
2002:calculs.do"
