Hi
I am using Stata 10 and I need to import a data set in stata 10 to R, I have
saved the dataset in lower versions of Stata as well by using saveold
command in Stata.
My RAM is 4gb and the stata file is 600MB, I am getting an error message
which says :
"Error: cannot allocate vector of size 3.4 Mb
In addition: There were 50 or more warnings (use warnings() to see the first
50)"
Thus far I have already tried the following
Maybe it does not adress the R problem that you are asking for, but you can
try to "compress" the stata file prior to save it. And maybe the size of
the file will decrease.
This can't possibly help. The problem is that *R* is running out of memory,
and storing the data elements in less space *on disk* won't help with the space
used in memory. Stata's -compress- option just chooses smaller data types, eg,
byte instead of integer.
