So what is the problem then? Cut-and-paste into an open do file (which
you say works), then remove extra parts and save from Stata.
do files are text files, there is no such thing as "v10 do-file".
If your .do-file defines a program - mind the limit of 3500 lines,
135600 characters in a program.
What exactly does not work:
do file.do
run file.do
doedit file.do
view file.do
??????????
It worked with Stata 9.2. Does it work now with Stata 9.2? What does Stata say?
