Re: st: Esttab and "too many base levels specified"

[ma9545@bdvb.de]

Hi again,
lb* are variables for each line of business, it is the proportion of
business written in a line of business. These are not dummy variables. I
tried the version you suggested, however, I have the same problem again
(too many base levels specified). What else is possible?
