dear statalist,
i am trying to destring the following variable:
type: string (str27), unique values: 9 missing "": 0/1060
Values "Consumption" "Earnings, Gross" "Earnings, Net" "Expenditure" "Income, .." "Income, Disposable" "Income, Gross" "Monetary Income, Disposable" "Monetary Income, Gross"
stata codebook also gives the warning: variable has embedded blanks.
stata does not accept any of the values (1060 missings are all obs.). i tried the "ignore" an the "force"-option, but that was not very successful.
what else could i try?
thanks a lot in advance!
martina brandt
