I need to merge two data sets on two variables (gvkey and fiscal_year_ended) but when I go to merge it it tells me "invalid 'firm_datadta' however the location is still the same and I even deleted the file and redownloaded it and put it in the same locaiton clear cd "C\Users\katri\OneDrive\Documents\STATA" use audit_datadtaSep 12, 17 · I attach the relevant part of the trace output from Stata below Note that "1149e08" is the number of observations in my dataset, but I suspect that somehow this gets passed in the wrong format, causing this errorWe want to create a new variable with full name in the order of last name and then first name separated by comma Example 2 Dates were entered as a string variable, in some cases the year was entered as a fourdigit value (which is what Stata generally expects to see), but in other cases it was entered as a twodigit value
