Dear All,
Stata's help for limits contains the following lines:
width of a dataset in bytes 800 24,564 393,192
length of a strL variable 2,000,000,000 2,000,000,000 2,000,000,000
Does the limit of dataset in bytes have any implications on the strL variables' length? Or should each strL be counted as 8bytes towards the dataset width limit? And a simple curiosity question, where is the value for the dataset width limit is coming from? I'd have a guess of w=244*32000=7808000 or 8*32000=256000, but I don't see what's so special about 393,192?
Thank you, Sergiy.
