Odd Stuff with MacBook Pro Tiger (after Leopard)

Jump to: navigation, search

DRW got a new MacBook Pro Tiger Odd Stuff:

  • I finally figured out to put the file in my desktop: 
setwd("/Users/doug/Desktop")
  • The dta file couldnt be read

> sccs<-read.dta("SCCSvar1-2008NoMap.dta")

  • Downloading the *.dta file from the net added an extra extension .dta.html. I removed that extension:

[1] "SCCSvar1-2008NoMap.dta.html" "SCCSvar1-2008NoMapStata5.dta"

  • Then > sccs<-read.dta("SCCSvar1-2008NoMap.dta")
Error in read.dta("SCCSvar1-2008NoMap.dta") : 
 not a Stata version 5-10 .dta file
  • Whoa: not a Stata version 5-10 .dta file - So I made a version 5 file but
> sccs<-read.dta("SCCSvar1-2008NoMapStata5.dta")
Warning message: In read.dta("SCCSvar1-2008NoMapStata5.dta") :
cannot read factor labels from Stata 5 files
  • So I made a Stata 5 file
sccs<-read.dta("SCCSvar1-2008NoMapStata5.dta")
Warning message: In read.dta("SCCSvar1-2008NoMapStata5.dta") :
cannot read factor labels from Stata 8 files
  • So finally I made a Stata 8 file
sccs<-read.dta("SCCSvar1-2008NoMapStata8.dta") and that worked perfectly
