st: -save- with emptyok

[Partha Deb <partha.deb@hunter.cuny.edu>]

Hi all,

I'm having trouble getting -save- to work with emptyok in the way I think it 
should.  Here's an example.

. save temp, emptyok
(note: dataset contains 0 observations)
file temp.dta saved

. use temp.dta

. append using auto.dta
no dataset in use
r(3);


Shouldn't I be able to append?  What am I doing wrong?  I'm using Stata 9.2. 
Thanks in advance for your help.

cheers,

Partha
