Rachel,
there are several possibilities. The fault may lie with a loop that
you forgot to close in interactive mode. For example:
. forvalues x = 1/10 {
2. blah
3. blubb
4. exit
5.
In this case, a closing brace } will close the loop and make Stata
execute the loop. Or you interactively used -program- :
. program hello
1. This
2. has
3. numbers
4. end
In this case, type -end-. The other thing that comes to mind is
-input-. Typing -end- will help here, too.
Hope this helps,
Eva
