Endless Compilation

Post by pantera »

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to make this table for an appendix, but the codes runs like forever. I'm pretty sure that if I leave it running it would never stop. I tried to leave it like that for 5 hours and still it kept running. I'm using Textmaker. I've been using LaTex for the past 1 week, so I don't know a better way of making such a table. Could anyone please help? Thanks a lot

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\noindent This table reports the sample statistics over the period from 1993-2004, estimated using TAQ, CRSP, Compustat, Thomson Reuters and I/B/E/S databases. All variables are defined in Appendix 1. Firms in financial and utilities industries are excluded (SIC 6000-6999 and 4900-4999). All variables are winsorized at the bottom and the top 1\% levels.

The first \multicolumn command in the table has a superfluous closing brace.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Thanks so much for helping! It works straight away after I removed the redundant brace.
