I am running a series of 8 regressions, the results of which I'd like
to append into a table using outreg. When I run it, I get the message
that the file could not be opened after I try to append my 5th column.
When I go to the directory where the results were being saved, the
file is gone.
What I did do to get it to work was write the results from the last 4
regressions into a separate file. And it works fine when I do this.
It seems to me that outreg is limited to 4 columns. Is this true?
Here are the results from the 4th regression:
. reg r8mssallch r8mssall03 ses04 swp04_pct
Source | SS df MS Number of obs = 51
-------------+------------------------------ F( 3, 47) = 1.86

But after the 5th regression:
