Hello All

I am trying to use -sortpreserve- in Stata 7 and Stata 8 under Windows 98/SE. However, there is one problem. My -sortpreserve- programs do not seem to be generating a -`sortindex'- temporary variable, as -[P] sortpreserve- says they should. (A simple example under Stata 8 is given below.) Why should this be the case?

Best wishes (and thanks in advance)

Roger

. prog def nutz1,sortpreserve
1. version 8.0
2. disp as text "Sort index var: |`sortindex'|"
3. sort `sortindex'
4. end

. nutz1
Sort index var: ||
varlist required
r(100);
