Yes, there are several. Those programs do work if I cut and paste one from my 9.2 do-file to an open do-file in 10. However, the problem I experience with Stata crashing happens at the precise moment when I attempt to open the do-file using Stata's do-file editor, before I've run a single line of code.

Does it define a program? i.e. are there lines embedded within that go

program <whatever>

...

end

or

program define <whatever>

...

end

???

Thanks Sergiy. Stata says nothing; the problem, specifically is that
when I attempt to open the do-file, v10 Stata (fully updated) crashes
(stops running, freezes, won't respond...) There are 3466 lines, so
perhaps even approaching the limit of 3500 lines which you cite is
the problem?

So what is the problem then? Cut-and-paste into an open do file (which
you say works), then remove extra parts and save from Stata.
do files are text files, there is no such thing as "v10 do-file".

If your .do-file defines a program - mind the limit of 3500 lines,
135600 characters in a program.
What exactly does not work:
    do file.do
    run file.do
    doedit file.do
    view file.do
??????????

It worked with Stata 9.2. Does it work now with Stata 9.2? What does
Stata say?

can't
  open the do-file from within v10.

  I take it you mean that the _length_ of the do file is the problem.
I
  very much doubt it. Did it work with your previous version? I
suggest
  working with increasing subsets of the file, or keeping a trace or
log
  if possible.

  I've just upgraded to v10, and a do-file won't load, causing
  Stata to crash. There are ~3,000 lines of code in the do-file;
could
  that be the problem?
