I'm using R version 2.12.0
I'm trying to open a stata file (.dta); but I keep getting the message:
Error in read.dta("c:/p4subset_biology.dta") :
Calloc could not allocate (-603966867 of 4) memory
What does this mean?
The file should contain lots of physiological data.
Thank you for your help.

how big is the file? Negative numbers related to memory allocs often mean too big- the signed int size thing overflows and becomes negative. Boundaries are often at a few Gigs, the sign bit on a 32 bit int is bit 31.
What does this mean? The file should contain lots of physiological data. Thank you for your help. -Bruce
