| Subject | st: -icd9- crashes Stata |
| Date | Thu, 12 Dec 2013 08:24:28 -0500 |
All,I have been trying to use the Stata command -icd9- to process a variable containing (yes) ICD9 codes. The same fragment of code ran correctly in the past, but now
capture : icd9 dxcode, check gen(invalid)causes Stata to crash every single time. The dataset is large (~60m obs, 5gb) but Stata has no problem eg merging or sorting the same dataset, so I don't see why that should be an issue. Any thoughts? Any alternatives? I do not often work with ICD9 codes.
-dxcode- is str7, if that matters. thanks, Jeph * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/resources/statalist-faq/ * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
