| Subject | st: When I save the database, Stata automatically delete variables. |
| Date | Tue, 11 May 2010 18:43:55 -0300 |
Im using Stata 10, and reshaping some databases, for example i run the following: use individual_t407 keep CODUSU componente nro_hogar estado pp10a pp10d sort CODUSU nro_hogar componente rename estado estado407 save i_t407,replace I expect the saved database to have six variables (CODUSU, componente, nro_hogar, estado, pp10a, pp10d). But surprisigly for me, when i run the "save" command, Stata randomly (looks random for me at least) drop some of them! I dont know if this is more a technical problem, or something that i cant see... Do you know what could be happening?
