st: Re: problems with openning dta files

["Zou Hong" <hzou@ln.edu.hk>]

Dear All,

I am using  Stata9.2. For some reasons, when I opened one data file,  I saw 
the following errors:

. use risktaking2
insufficient memory for value label ?W�
above message refers to value label ?W�; value label not loaded

Using "ed" check data and found many variable values (e.g., firm code and 
year) have been changed for some reasons. The file can be opened in another 
computer using Stata. I have just updated my Stata system and the problem 
still persists.

Any suggestions are appreciated.
Joe
