Thanks for the fuller example. I can't check this example and you don't say which command produces the error message, which is the most important piece of information here. The most obvious writing of files here will be done by -outreg2- (SSC; please remember to explain user-written commands you refer to), so further support might well need a contribution from its author, not a member of this list, or other users. I think they would need the results of -set trace on- to see not only which command produced this, but where in the command it was produced.
