its not a message I've seen before. one issue is how many variables you
have. if you have more than 40 or so, you may be running into memory
problems conceivably. one way to do this inadvertently is to specify the
id variable as a nominal variable, in which case amelia will make 8165
variables out of it, so you migh check that you didn't do that. you might
also check that you've read the data in the way you think its been read in
by looking at the descriptive statistics.
best of luck with your research,
Gary

Dear Professor King,
I am trying use Amelia to impute Afrobarometer data for my dissertation
project and, obviously, am not having much luck. The data reads in
fine, and I am perfectly able to tell the program that one variable is
completely full and another is an id variable, but when I run the
program it blows up and this is all the output I get:
C:\GAUSS\SRC\SORTMC.SRC(89) : error G0056 : Too many active locals
Currently active call: SORTMC [89].
The only changes I have made to the defaults are those listed above
(telling it that one variable is full and another is an id). The
dataset is fairly large, 8166 observations and lots of variables, but
since the data has come in fine that doesn't seem to be the problem (at
least not yet). I've used Amelia before, though I must confess that I
wouldn't consider myself anything more than a novice user, but have
never encountered this error. I have also looked through the
documentation and listserv archive, but haven't seen any references to
this message. Any ideas on what's going wrong?
By the way, I also posted this to the Amelia listserv, but wasn't sure
if I should send it to you as well and figured I was safest doing both.
Thanks a bunch for your time and any help you can offer. Jason
