Hi guys,
I'm pretty new to Stata and I'm trying to merge several different chunk files (.dta). When I tried to do it, the following error message popped up:
variable CLOSDATE is str10 in master but int in using data
You could specify append's force option to ignore this string/numeric mismatch. The using variable
would then be treated as if it contained "".
In my chunk files, CLOSDATE is written as DD/MM/YYYY, e.g. 31/12/2015.
Does anyone of you know how I can change it in order to merge my chunk files?
Thank you very much in advance for your help!
