Re: st: Prob with -rename-
try this:
**********
clear
set obs 100
g x14 = 0
g x2=5
rename x1 x90
**********
set varabbrev off
**********
clear
set obs 100
g x14 = 0
g x2=5
rename x1 x90
**********
and you get the desired error message. The reason is that you can use
abbreviations (default) in Stata - see help varabbrev
hope this helps,
Johannes
