| Subject | st: renaming an invalid varname |
| Date | Wed, 16 Apr 2014 11:45:06 +0000 |
Stata does not allow me to rename an invalid varname. How do a change the varnames? I use stata12. The data set I have been using, have some variables with invalid names such as (Áal˝˛012) or (ˆss02101). When I try to rename these variables I get the following message. rename ˆss02101 oss02101 ˆss02101 invalid name r(198); Any suggestion to rename already invalid varnames?
