I am trying to figure out what is wrong with this infile syntax.
. set mem 1000m
(1024000k)
.
. local dat_name "cpsmar08.dat"
.
.
.
. local dta_name "./cpsmar08.dta"
.
.
. local dct_name "./cpsmar08.dct"
.
. quietly infile using "`dct_name'", using("`dat_name'") clear
file cpsmar08.dat not found
r(601);
end of do-file
r(601);
Thank you,
Kirimi

then drop the extra observations (last line below)!
... note the extra step for CPS files after infiling is to -replace-
household and family record variables with something like:
unab x: hrecord-frecord
loc x: subinstr local x "frecord" "", all
loc x: subinstr local x "hrecord" "", all
qui foreach v of local x {
replace `v'=`v'[_n-1] if hrecord>1
}
unab x: frecord-precord
loc x: subinstr local x "precord" "", all
loc x: subinstr local x "frecord" "", all
qui foreach v of local x {
replace `v'=`v'[_n-1] if hrecord==3
}
keep if hrecord==3
