[Limdep Nlogit List] Write Command

[David Hensher]

Megan

Variable names must not exceed 8 letters. I not educatio is 8 but 
maybe it is education and the comma is missing.

Format looks like it should be  ;format=(5(12F60.5)/12f60.5)$
Keep acronyms short and meaningful - makes it easier later when you 
have to write names out in models.

Also 60 cols per variable seems excessive to me?
try
Will have to change names in original data


write;
Tripa,aves,adist,aimp,aenved,acost,locat,prev,rating,age,inc,edu,
Trips,bves,bdist,bimp,benved,bcost,locat,prev,rating,age,inc,edu,
Tripd,cves,cdist,cimp,cenved,ccost,locat,prev,rating,age,inc,edu,
Tripf,dves,ddist,dimp,denved,dcost,locat,prev,rating,age,inc,edu,
Tripg,eves,edist,eimp,eenved,ecost,locat,prev,rating,age,inc,edu
;file=StageTwo
;format=(5(12f12.5))/12f12.5)$
