To find out whether this has anything to do with the -save- command, throw in a -describe- just before you -save-. Most likely, this is for tech support to resolve. Make sure you provide the output of the -about- command with your query...

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?
Thanks for your help!!!
