Common Problems

Stata not executing final command

If you find that Stata is not executing the final command in your .do file, then try adding a newline at the end of the file.

I/O error writing .dta file

When running a Stata job in BlueBEAR you may get this error:

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

In that case the following should fix it, added before you execute stata-mp (or stata, or stata-se):

export STATATMP="/scratch/${SLURM_JOBID}"; mkdir ${STATATMP}

This tells stata to write its temporary files into a new, job-specific folder in the /scratch filestore - instead of into /tmp
