Thanks to Stata tech support I figured out the meaning of r(1450). I paste their response below. I suspect the reason for the error might be something like the storage of "temp" files in a directory that gets full after a number of loops of my program. I haven't figured out how to solve it but at least I know what it means.

Dear Rodrigo,
This error is not coming from Stata directly it is being passed to Stata from
the -shell- command and it is a Windows error code: 'ERROR_NO_SYSTEM_RESOURCES:
Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service'.
Sincerely,
Kerry Kammire

Subject: st: error code r(1450)
I wrote a program that unzips some files (about 750,000 of them) extracts the underlying csvs, imports them into Stata, cleans them and organizes each file and then exports it to a databse.
The program had been running for a while successfully until it spat an error code r(1450) at the stage where it unzips. I'm "shelling" out to unzip using a python script I found, and it had been working flawlessly for about 100,000 files. I don't know what's going wrong since I can't find mention of the r(1450) error in Stata's help or on the list. I want to know if this is somehow caused by repeating this action lots of times, or if it's a python unzipping script problem. Does anyone know what error r(1450) belongs to?
Cheers,
Rodrigo
