I´m trying to run a file about 5,4 KB in size but when i try to open the file I get following message:
op. sys. refuses to provide memory
Stata's data-storage memory manager has already allocated 4672m bytes and
it just attempted to allocate another 32m bytes. The operating system
said no. Perhaps you are running another memory-consuming task and the
command will work later when the task completes. Perhaps you are on a
multiuser system that is especially busy and the command will work later
when activity quiets down. Perhaps a system administrator has put a
limit on what you can allocate; see help memory. Or perhaps that's all
the memory your computer can allocate to Stata.
r(909);
The file contains 20 Variables so the variable number should not be the problem. For my data analysis i´l be using STATA/SE 13. I checked on the memory of the program and it seemed to me to be sufficient for my file
. query memory
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Memory settings
set maxvar 5000 2048-32767; max. vars allowed
set matsize 400 10-11000; max. # vars in models
set niceness 5 0-10
set min_memory 0 0-1600g
set max_memory . 32m-1600g or .
set segmentsize 32m 1m-32g
I read on "FAQ" the recomendation to allocate an amount of memory that is larger than the file in use and tried to increase the memory to 10m, but stata ignored my command with following message:
set memory ignored.
Memory no longer needs to be set in modern Statas; memory adjustments are
performed on the fly automatically.
My computer has 4 GB of RAM, I´m wondering if there is an alternative possibility to increase or change the memory settings to make it work.
Thank you
