Re: st: xtivreg2 query

[Bonnie Wilson <wilsonbe@slu.edu>]

Thanks for sticking with the puzzle Mark.  (I'm beginning to think
I've got a good excuse for a Stata upgrade.)

Here's the Stata output...

lots of stuff...

  if "`version'" != "" &
"`first'`ffirst'`rf'`noheader'`nofooter'`dropfirst'`droprf'`eform'`p
> lus'" != "" {
    di as err "option version not allowed"
    error 198
    }
    if "`version'" != "" {
    di in gr "`lversion'"
    ereturn clear
    ereturn local version `lversion'
    exit
    }
    if `"`e(cmd)'"' != "`ivreg2_cmd'" {
    error 301
    }
    if "`e(firsteqs)'" != "" & "`dropfirst'" == "" {
    local savefirst "savefirst"
    }
    if "`e(rfeq)'" != "" & "`droprf'" == "" {
    local saverf "saverf"
    }
    }
