RE: AW: st: WG: XML TAB - inconsistent p-value output

["Seed, Paul" <paul.seed@kcl.ac.uk>]

Dear Statalist, 

To add to the confusion with -xtscc- and -xml_tab-
that Ingo Kleindienst & Sergiy Radyakin have already commented on, 
I followed Inigo's instructions and go a completely different set of 
results from -xtscc-.

This suggests the problem is with -xtscc-, not -xml_tab-.
