Re: st: Error r(103) after gengroup command

[daniel klein <klein.daniel.81@googlemail.com>]

Rachel,

the FAQ ask you to explain where user-written programs you use come
from. -gengroup- is available from SSC. I have no clear idea what the
program is supposed to do, but the code reads

[...]
syntax varlist(numeric min=1 max=1)
[...]

which implies that you are not allowed to specify more than one
variable. The help file is clearly misleading here, as it states that
a varlist is allowed and also gives examples using more than one
variable. My advice is to contact the author.

Best
Daniel

Here is the command and the error I am getting:
. gengroup A1 A3 A6
 too many variables specified
 r(103);

The command works perfectly if I specify only one variable to group
by, such as A1.
[...]
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
