[Limdep Nlogit List] Data reading Error

[William Greene]

It isn't necessarily the last two observations.
If there are two observations somewhere in the file that do not
have 21 values on one line, or the one line is too long, then for
these two observations, the reader will eat a second line to complete
the observation. That will make it come up short at the end.

Hi Limdep Users,

I have a quick question. I have the .txt data file with 21-var and 3129-obs but limdep is not reading the last 2 observations. I have checked all possible means and spent a few hours to make sure that nothing is wrong with those last two observations. Any help? (The output is printed below.)

Thank you.
Kal
