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... <> HTH Martin -original message- Subject: st: When I save the database, Stata automatically delete variables. From: Emanuel López <lopez.emanuel@gmail.com> Date: 11-05-2010 23:44 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?
