Re: st: nl command - error#130 expression too long

[Carlotta Schuster <schuster.carlotta@gmail.com>]

Here is my whole code for the program (which fits the form of a function
evaluator program according to the help file for the nl command). After
the program I run the line I have at the end to call the program.
According to what I have read in the statalist this should work since
the function evaluator with the nl command should handle and arbitrarily
large number of variables. But I still get the #130 error of expression
too long.

Thanks.
