Hi
I have been trying to open the DHS data for Benin for instance on STATA 13 but couldn't do so. I have tried to open the Individual Recode (IR) and Couples Recode (CR). No chance.
Stata provides me with the following information
no room to add more variables
Up to 2,048 variables are allowed with this version of Stata. Versions are available that allow up to 32,767 variables.
Then I tried to use the following commands as specified by the video:
set mem 450m
set memory ignored.
Memory no longer needs to be set in modern Statas; memory adjustments are performed on the fly automatically.
set maxvar 10000, perm
maxvar not settable in this version of Stata
maxvar specifies the maximum number of variables allowed in your data; see help memory. in this version of
Stata, maxvar is fixed at 2,048. Versions of Stata are available that allow up to 32,767 variables.
This is what I've got. I have also tried select.exe and manage to get the .DCT file but can't open the file.
Kindly help. Thanks
Verena
