Hi All-

Each time I run the code below, I receive an invalid 'data' r(198) response from STATA. I am using the updated STATA 17. What am I doing wrong? How can I fix this?



*Import and append all data from dta

*set the local space where you saved the dta file

global all_dta "/Users/emmaposey/Downloads/dta"
cd "$all_dta"

*import and append all data from dta

* Create a temp file to append all files to. This will become the main dataset.
tempfile data
save 'data', emptyok

*import all datasets and append:
local filenames : dir "${all_dta}" files "*.dta"

foreach f of local filenames {

use `"`f'"', clear // import file

gen source_dta = `"`f'"' // create variable with name file
}
