Subject   st: Merge : no room to add more variables because of width
Date   Sun, 16 Feb 2014 21:09:21 -0500

Dear all,

I have dataset one with 24 million observations, and dataset two with
14,000 observations (12 variables).

I need to do a m:1 merge
master data: dataset one
using : dataset two

my computer ram is 4g,

my merge resutls in an error message"
no room to add more variables because of width
    An attempt was made to add a variable that would have increased
the memory required to store an observation beyond what is currently
possible.

should I split the data into 2 or 3 small pieces? could you please
suggest an efficient way of doing this?

thanks,
Rochelle
