That appears to be a bug in -iskoisei-. At the bottom of
the file iskoisei.ado you see a B, remove that and save the
file, restart Stata, and the program should work.
As an aside: I would not call this variable Esec because, the
ISEI scale and the ESeC scheme are conceptually very different
things: isei is an occupational status scale while ESeC is a
class scheme.
Occupational status focusses the fact that some occupations
are more desirable/better than others. Class foucusses on the
fact that people who work in the same type of occupations
share certain experiences and as a result become similar to
one another. So status results in an inherently continuous
variable, while class is inherently categorical.
Hope this helps,
