RE: st: set mem problem

Hi,
On this page http://www.stata.com/stata11/point1.html it says " Windows XP. The amount of memory available to Stata has been increased on 32-bit Windows XP."
This is referring to stata 11.1 which is a free upgrade to stata 11. You don't say what OS you are using but upgrade to 11.1 and see if that makes any difference. But the problem of the 2gb limit on 32 bit systems will still apply I guess. So the real alternative is what Neil suggests. Which might be easier said than done when that decision is not in your hands.
Regards
rajesh

The solution is to upgrade to a 64-bit operating system.
