Thank you the help is much appreciated but unfortunately I have to delay
slightly as I am trying to obtain admin rights for my desktop from IT!!!
Currently I cannot update Stata.
As you point out Stata should be able to handle the amount of variables
I am talking about but I am assuming that -contract- must generate extra
variables in calculating the frequencies?
I shall run the example code you have given me when I am able to update
Stata and email you then if that would be alright? Apologies, I do not
know how long this may take.
Thank you,
Karen

-h limits- (in Stata 10) does indicate that IC can handle 2,047
variables,
though. What happens when you run this example code?

Betreff: st: problem with -contract-
I was wondering if anyone could help with a problem i am having using
-contract-. I wish to use contract on about 165 variables at the same
time,
this would create a dataset containing 166 variables if contract
worked.
however Stata (of which I am using version 10, IC) cannot do this due
to
too many variables. Is there another way to create the frequencies I
require or to alter -contract- in some way to allow this many
variables?
Thank you,
Karen
