Dear statalist,
I am still using Stata8.
The reference says that ?joinby- needs the data to be sorted.
But the following code does not lead to an error message.
gen random = uniform()
sort random
joinby var1 var2 var3 using data, unmatched(both)
I had expeced an error messge.
I am puzzled since the data is not joined in the way I expected. Neither
with sort var1 var2 var3 or sort random.
Any glues about that?
Well the version I am using is the most recent one.
. which joinby
R:\stata8\ado\base\j\joinby.ado
*! version 2.0.5 11Jan2001
Thanks
Hans
