Hi all,

I'm having trouble getting -save- to work with emptyok in the way I think it should. Here's an example.

. save temp, emptyok
(note: dataset contains 0 observations)
file temp.dta saved

. use temp.dta

. append using auto.dta
no dataset in use
r(3);


Shouldn't I be able to append? What am I doing wrong? I'm using Stata 9.2. Thanks in advance for your help.

cheers,

Partha
