Dear Neil,

thank you for you answer.

The link to the solution that I mentioned is this one:

http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2004-02/msg00140.html

However, I tried your solution, but is doesn't work.

I opened my data and my do file. Usually I click on the button for the
do file. I tried to type do myfyle, nostop

but I receive an error message: fyle myfile.do not found

what I am doing wrong?

thank you
Katia
