It comes up in the context of the "append" command. And it means
that you can't append a series whose values represent strings to a
regular numeric series, or vice versa. (That is, "lengthwise",
in adding observations to an existing dataset. It's OK to add a
string-valued series as a new series, to a dataset that currently
contains only numeric series, provided the newly added series is of
a suitable length.)
This is a newly added error message, stemming from a revision of
"append", which was not doing the right thing with string-valued
series in general.
Thanks for the clarification, Allin!
Best,
