Hello

When I join or merge or append the data set, it gives the following message. The size of the file is about 28GB. Though, my laptop has good specifications with 32GB RAM, Core i 7 (8), with one TB drive, XPS Dell.

"I/O error writing .dta file Usually such I/O errors are caused by the disk or file system being full."

I have attached the screen shot as well.
