Hello,
I have been attempting to run an ACS dataset given to me by a Stata 13 user, but I am a Stata 11_IC user. I have used -use13- before, but it was on a much smaller dataset. I am concerned that it simply is too big to be converted. The file size is 4.40gb
I was wondering if there is a filesize limit for -use13-, as I was unable to see any in the documentation, however there was one older post on this forum that seemed to hint at a 2gb limit.
This problem is not critical as I will likely just ask for a conversion of the data by the guy who gave it to me, but I thought it would be useful to be included in the forum.
