RE: st: FW: vecrank yields "too many literals" error in small Stata

[Stephen Younger <syounger@ithaca.edu>]

I cannot produce the error myself b/c I am not using Small Stata. I have asked a student to do so. For now,

students have Small Stata version 12
17 variables in the dataset, 3 used in the vecrank command
141 observations. one of the 3 analysis variables has a missing value in the first obs
the command is :  vecrank lnius lniuk dlner, lags(12)
problem occurs regardless of lag length and trend() option

Thanks,

To comment, we need to know exactly what Stata version students are
using and precisely what dataset and command they were using.

Alternatively, see
http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/technical-support/sending-stata-output/
for a record of what Stata tech-support ask for to investigate bug
reports.

But when my students, using small Stata, run the same command, they get the "too many literals" error, r130. I'm not sure what's going on inside vecrank, but would appreciate knowing about a work around.
