Dear Herve,
I don't think it is a problem of Stata 11.
The problem is that the rowname is too long. The maximum is 30
characters in Stata 9, 11, and 31 in Stata 10.
There is more than that in your statement and Stata complains.
Try this:
matrix A=1
matrix rownames A = "abcdefgh012345678abcdefgh0123456"
matrix rownames A = "abcdefgh012345678abcdefgh01234567"
matrix rownames A = "abcdefgh012345678abcdefgh012345678"
Given that the variables can have names up to 32 chars it would be
great if this limit was increased, to 80, 244, 255 or whatever other
number is considered to be "nice".
Best regards, Sergiy Radyakin
