Stata 16 describe command - file size is gone?

[Hannes Wagner]

Dear all
Running an updated Stata 16 MP version, I notice that the

describe

command is missing the information on file size. I am sure you all remember there used to be three entries at the top - obs, vars, and size. And size is no longer showing. Is that just my machine? Thanks!

I would consider this to be a bug because the manual entry suggests the dataset size should still be shown by -describe-. I would report it to Stata Technical Support.

Note that you may still see the size in the Stata Propeties window.
