Abstract: chunky8 breaks a large text file into user specifiable manageable chunks. It is typically used to break a huge data dump that is too large for infiling into smaller manageable chunks. chunky8 will allow serial chunking and then infiling or insheeting. The smaller data subsets can then be appended together to create a dataset with all required observations. chunky8 is the deprecated previous version of chunky, the latter having been completely rewritten to use the Mata capabilities of Stata release 9 and higher. Some users may still require a line-indexed method of chunking files so chunky8 will continue to be supported.
