Re: st: Re: loop: how can I download CSV files and append it

[Daniel Marcelino <dmsilva.br@gmail.com>]

It sounds good, thanks Joseph.
The last thing is how can I increase memory in the loop, if possible?
My site list is more than 15 thousands addresses, so, my program stops
because my limited memory setup. Of course in this case I know that
all my data sets is about 300 mb, but is there a way to give Stata
memory as it needs?

Best,
Daniel
