Unidentifiable Error Code

[E. David Aja]

Hi all,
I'm running Stata/SE 12.1 on Windows 8.1. I issued the following command to Stata last night:

mi estimate, post dots cmdok: ///
xtabond2 growth c.gini_net##c.exclpop##c.groups egipgrps c.gini_net#c.egipgrps  hc pl_i l.lpcgdp i.year ///
, iv(i.year groups egipgrps exclpop) gmm(gini_net hc pl_i l.lpcgdp)
timer off 2
outreg using dynamic_panel, replace
estimates save dp1

and I awoke to the following:

Imputations (100):
  .........10......                 ftell(): 2016781602  Stata returned error
__st_estimatessave_wrk():     -  function returned error
     _st_estimatessave():     -  function returned error
                 <istmt>:     -  function returned error
r(2016781602);

end of do-file

r(2016781602);

I have used mi estimate with estimates save before with no problems. Any thoughts?

It seems that no one on the list has ever seen such an error code. You're probably better off taking this up with StataCorp's technical support directly.
