I accidentally stumbled on the following behavior, in which Stata seems
to be allowing a missing value in a matrix:
. di 1e309
.
. mat x=1e309
. mat list x
symmetric x[1,1]
c1
r1 1.#INF
. di x[1,1]
.
. gen myvariable=x[1,1]
(1141 missing values generated)
. query born
11 June 2002
I'm working with the 11 Jun 2002 Windows executable.
Does this work on other platforms? Is this supported behavior? Did I
miss something?
Thanks
Nick Winter
