How to avoid warning message "data in memory will be lost"

[statauser]

Hi there,

Every time after I used commands such as -stack- and -svmat-, Stata will display the following warning message:

"Warning: data in memory will be lost.
Press any key to continue, Ctrl-Break to abort."

I know that the question was asked and some statlisters proposed using "set more off, permanently" before (for example, http://www.stata.com/statalist/archi.../msg00746.html). But I am not quite sure if the proposed solution actually works. I could sort of work around this by pressing lots of empty spaces while the program is running. But it becomes very annoying when you need to embed such commands in a canned program.

I would very much appreciate your kind help!

Best,
Le

From the help file for stack :

clear indicates that it is okay to clear the dataset in memory. If you do not specify this option, you
will be asked to confirm your intentions.
