This line is wrong 

scalar `a5' = 1 - `a1' - `a2' - `a3' - `a0'

`a0' is not defined. I guess you mean `a4'.

Brian thank you for very much for your response. I have tried it and now I am getting an error 199. I looked at the previous discussion about this error, but it seems that I don't have the issues discussed.  Please let me know if there are any other errors there.

The problem is that the way your program is written, you are reloading the dataset every time the program nlsuraids gets called.  Instead, you should load in the data once, define the nlsuraids program to just compute the predicted share equations, then call -nlsur- The solution is simple.  In your sample code, just move the three lines

program drop nlsuraids
program nlsuraids
         version 10.1

down, just before the -syntax- statement.

The other problem is that your -tokenize- statement is not correct.

The outline of your entire do-file should be something like


use "E:\Data\Demand\agg_aids.dta", clear
gen exp = ...
gen lnexp = ln(exp)
gen lnp1 = ...
...
gen w1 = ...


capture program drop nlsuraids
program nlsuraids
         version 10.1
         syntax varlist(min=10 max=10) if, at(name)

         tokenize `varlist'
	args w1 w2 w3 w4 lnp1 lnp2 lnp3 lnp4 lnp5 lnexp

         ...
         <I haven't studied the rest of your code carefully, but it looks okay>
         ...
         replace `w1' ...
         replace `w2' ...
         replace `w3' ...
         replace `w4' ...

end
