| Subject | st: New version of -usesome- on SSC |
| Date | Wed, 12 Feb 2014 15:09:44 +0100 |
Thanks as always to Kit Baum, an updated version of -usesome- is now available from the SSC. The old version failed to load even a single variable if the list of variable names in the dataset to be loaded was too long for a local macro and issued the error message "too many variables specified" r(103). This is because the code relied on -describe using- to obtain a list of variable names. The updated version fixes this problem and additionally - supports standard abbreviations for variable names - supports any type of numlist (bug fix) - supports -if- (new option) - returns some 'results' Best Daniel * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/resources/statalist-faq/ * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
