RE: st: error message r(2000)

["louis boakye-yiadom" <louisby@hotmail.com>]

Thank you all for your comments/suggestions. I've detected the cause of the 
problem; I had failed to realise all along that some of the regressors were 
(by definition) missing for the subset of observations I was examining. 
There is no problem with the do file after eliminating those regressors.

Many thanks,
Louis
