Nick -
Even when I make the parameter lists identical (names and number) I get the
same error. Any other suggestions?
Al
- gen double `RESID' = `YVAR'-`YHAT' if `touse'
- scalar `gm2' = 1
- local scaled ""
- }
- reg `RESID' `Z' `exp' if `touse', nocons
- scalar `old_ssr' = e(rss)*`gm2'
- local done 0
- local its 0
- tempname hest
- while ~`done' {
- if "`log'" == "" {
- noi di in gr "Iteration " `its' ": " _c
Iteration 0: - if "`trace'"!="" { noi di }
- }
- local j 1
- while `j' <= `np' {
- local old_pj = ${``j''}
invalid syntax

This is the message you would get
if the jth parameter were undefined,
so that
$``j''
reduces to
$`'
Hence my guess is that your guess is a good one.
