Subject | st: problem when using shp2dta with dbf file |
Date | Mon, 22 Feb 2010 19:25:58 -0500 |
Dear Statalist users, I'm trying to convert a shp and a dbf files by following the instructions in http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/graphics/tmap.html Unfortunately, when I type: shp2dta using Cont_AAd_CAOP20090, database(ptdb) coordinates(ptcoord) genid(id) I get the following error message . shp2dta using Cont_AAd_CAOP20090, database(ptdb) coordinates(ptcoord) genid(id) st_addvar(): 3300 argument out of range read_dbf(): - function returned error <istmt>: - function returned error r(3300); Am I doing anything wrong? If anyone would be kind enough to try this, the shp and dbf files can be downloaded from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1563490/Archive.zip Any help is appreciated!
