Hi,
So I had this issue before but don't remember how I fixed it. Stata essentially shows 0 observations at all times. With the exception of opening a .do file or directly from .dta file; when I open Stata 15 IC on my Mac, I'll type any simple command "gen t = _n" or simply anything that calls for generating a new variable. The new variable is created in the list of variables and I get no error. But when I go to Data Browser/Editor the matrix window supposed to show the variables observations shows just blank empty boxes. It's the same with any command: "gen tm = tm(1991m1) + _n-1" or "gen test = 5". No matter the command the browser view shows a spreadsheet of zero observations and no numbers of any sort. I've tried setting the memory/ changing obs to different values but that doesn't seem to solve it. Any and all help with this persistent but annoying issue would be fantastic.
Best,
Ali
