I am assuming that -inputst- is my program (the -inputst- program of the
-stcmd- package). In that case, inputst is not saying "file not found"
because it couldn't find the file
"C:\statawrk\MAPMISS/MRecord-I-080907.txt"
It is saying "file not found" because it attempted to run Stat/Transfer
to input
"C:\statawrk\MAPMISS/MRecord-I-080907.txt"
and create a temporary file (containing a Stata dataset) as output, and
Stat/Transfer failed to create this temporary file, so this temporary
file is the file that was "not found". (See -whelp tempfile- for more on
temporary files.) The problem is therefore probably in Stat/Transfer,
not in Stata.
I do not know how large your file
"C:\statawrk\MAPMISS/MRecord-I-080907.txt"
is, or whether there are security issues with it. However, I have the
very latest update of Stat/Transfer Version 9. If it is possible for you
to send me a copy of your file
"C:\statawrk\MAPMISS/MRecord-I-080907.txt"
then I can attempt to find out the problem that Stat/Transfer is having.

Subject: st: RE: problem with stattransfer within Stata
You say you wrote a program.
If -inputst- is your program, then we cannot debug it without seeing the
code.
Alternatively, if -inputst- is the program written by Roger Newson, my
guess is that he would
need to work with your data file to make progress on this. I suggest
that you send it
to him privately.

I wrote a program last year which I use to import data
into Stata using Stat-Transfer. The program worked and
it worked in February (last time it was ran). Now it
does no work, and as far as I can tell nothing jas
changed expect Stata updates (ado and executable)
The code reads:
. inputst "C:\statawrk\MAPMISS/MRecord-I-080907.txt"
Stat/Transfer did not run successfully
file not found
r(601);
the file does exist:
. dir "C:\statawrk\MAPMISS/MRecord-I-080907.txt"
19.8k 4/16/08 12:08 MRecord-I-080907.txt
r(601);
