Re: st: RE: memory issue with Stata

di `c(bit)'

That will tell you if you're running a 32 or 64 bit version of Stata.  Check out - h creturn - for more stuff that is useful if you're doing any programming.  Also, do you know how many variables/observations are in the file you are trying to read into Stata? That may be another roadblock you run into in the near future as well.
