Import.ado, Import already already defined

Import.ado, Import already already defined

by Isaac -

A cry for help here.... Have run into this a few times while trying to import data into Stata. Can't figure out what the problem is....:

. Import delimited basic-demographics.csv, delimiter(",")

unrecognized command:  Import not defined by Import.ado r(199);

end of do-file

r(199);

Then, when I try again (without having made any changes, just re-trying out of stubbornness), I get a different error:

. . clear

. . . Import delimited basic-demographics.csv, delimiter(",")

import already defined (error occurred while loading Import.ado) r(110);

Isaac,

Stata commands are case sensitive. Do not capitalize the word "import" in the command.

I recreated the error by typing the following in Stata:

. clear

. Import delimited "/Users/wtaeuser/Dropbox/Documents/courses/Biostat212/week3/Intoxication.csv", delimiter(comma)


unrecognized command: Import not defined by Import.ado
r(199);

This recreates the second error you received (I literally just typed the same incorrect import statement right after the code I sent previously).

. Import delimited "/Users/wtaeuser/Dropbox/Documents/courses/Biostat212/week3/Intoxication.csv", delimiter(comma
> )
import already defined
(error occurred while loading Import.ado)
r(110);
