Dear Statalist,
I apologize if this is a duplicate - I was not sure whether my first message
went on correctly.
I am Stata7 user.
I am trying to infile data from the datafile which does not have end-of-line
delimiters. My dictionary file looks like this:
dictionary using mydata{
_lrecl(8231)
_column(1)
float caseid %5f "id"
...
}
I get the error message:
"8231 not allowed
dictionary invalid"
By trying different # in _lrecl(#) I figured that # must be less than 7999 in
order for my dictionary file to work.
But the length of the line in my file is 8231.
I would greatly appreciate any advise on how I can infile variables from this
datafile.
With best regards,
Olena Stavrunova
