Re: st: inconsistent do-file execution PLUS
In support of Rufus' claims, I've experienced a
less severe version of the same problem, but I
think only with Stata version 7 (IC) for Windows.
After a long session, Stata would suddenly stop
recognizing what I typed in the command window,
and instead substitute characters I hadn't typed.
But to the best of my knowledge Stata didn't
change my data. As with Rufus, if I quit Stata
and then immediately relaunched it, the problem
would go away at least until I again used the program for long time.
It is interesting that an apparently extreme
version of this problem appears in Stata 9 for Macs.

Friedrich (and others),
I think I found the problem. I didn't have an ID variable for a
certain subsection of the data, but I'm still curious why the file
would execute differently each time. The problem was the commands:
sort gameid
gen runavg_opp_pred=runavg_tm_pred[_n-1] if gameid[_n-1]==gameid
replace runavg_opp_pred=runavg_tm_pred[_n+1] if gameid[_n+1]==gameid
I'm using a dataset with many observations from years 2001-2007. The
variable "gameid" was missing for all 2006 & 2007 observations. Would
the sort execute differently each time for observations where the
sorting variable is missing? That doesn't seem to make sense to me.
Another question that's somewhat related:
I just got Stata 10, but I had Stata 9 IC for Mac for the previous
year and every so often Stata would go bonkers on me. I would execute
a simple command (like summarize) and it would give me different
results each time. Sometimes Stata would even change my dataset by
deleting lots of observations and copying some rows hundreds of
times. Other times, it would make the dataset look like nonsense (it
would be filled with characters such as ~�øå¬πø�¨©. When I
quit Stata and restarted it, everything would be back to normal. I
should note that Stata would usually only mess up like this after I
had been using it for awhile--it would never do this right after I
launched it. Would have written about this problem earlier, but just
found out about the listserv.
Thanks again,
Rufus

Rufus,
At which step do you get different results? Please provide a more
precise description of your problem.

Hey all,
I'm using Stata 10 SE for Mac. I'm having a problem with the
execution of a
do-file--each time I do the do-file, I get different results for
only a
subset of the data. First of all, is there any reason why running
the same
do-file which is using the exact same data would give me different
results?
The do-file is a bit long but I'll paste it in here, although I'm
not sure
how it would give me different results since I'm not simulating
anything...
Thanks,
Rufus
