[Limdep Nlogit List] problems with opening

It's possible that you can't allocate that much memory on your computer.
Either way, you have to increase the size of the data area permanently.
Start limdep, then go to Tools:Options/Projets. Set the number of cells
to 70 million. This is going to require nearly 500MB of memory. Then, exit
this dialog box, then exit limdep. This puts the settings on your hard
drive so they will be permanent.  Now, restart limdep and try once again 
to load your project.

Subject: [Limdep Nlogit List] problems with opening

Dear all,

 

I am a beginner with LIMDEP.  I am running LIMDEP 9.0 on Windows XP.
There is a problem when I tried to transfer a STATA data file to LIMDEP.
The STATA file contains 412 variables and 158,337 obs.  File size is
106.6 MB.  It was converted to a .lpj file using Stat/Transfer.  The
size of .lpj file is 248.6MB.  The problem is I couldn't open the .lpj
file using the "Open project..." command in the "File" menu.  There's
now error message or anything.  Simply no response from the package.
The problem remained when I reset the data area to allow for 166,666
rows.  I suppose this enough given the number of obs I have.  I repeated
the same procedure on a small STATA file. It worked perfectly.  Can
anyone advise where the problem is?  It's extremely frustrating to be
stuck at this non-essential step. 

 

Thanks

Frank Jiang
