Hi,
For the last few months i've had the following error message coming up with every model i run from stata:
"Column esample is protected. Overwrite protected column?"
I found this previous thread (https://www.cmm.bristol.ac.uk/forum/vie ... php?t=1374) back from 2009 that stated "have a workaround to these messages in the -runmlwin- development version, which we hope to release to ssc soon."
I can't seem to find anything in the manuals or online.
Is someone able to advise me how I stop this message coming up? I'm trying to run loops and it's a nightmare.
Thanks!
Emma

Re: Overwrite protected column
This message should not appear if you are using the model recent version of -runmlwin-. Could you try updating it with the command:
and letting us know if this fixes it?
Code: Select all
adoupdate runmlwin

Re: Overwrite protected column
Could you enter the following command in Stata?:
and then open the runmlwin.ado file that it refers to in a text editor.
This should contain the following line:
If not then the update was not successful and I suggest that you investigate why not. If this line does exist in your version then let us know.
Code: Select all
which runmlwin
This should contain the following line:
Code: Select all
