Betreff: Re: st: All entries saved as integers
I once had a similar problem after loading a corrupted
dataset - even after I -clear-ed the dataset, I could
create new byte variables and find garbage in them.
http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2004-06/msg00015.html
Later determined that it didn't matter if the dataset was
in memory, just that I had loaded it at some point.
Sounds like you resolved yours with an update, but it happens
again, consider your dataset.
cheers,
