Without knowing what--exactly--you typed, it is impossible to be sure.
But this works for me:
. sysuse auto
. egen newvar = corr(mpg price)
What are you typing?
Note, by the way, I'm now at nw53@cornell.edu

Hi Nick,
I was using your _gcorr.ado program file. I loaded the ado file properly into
stata (which recognizes the program). I then try to run the command using the
syntax you specified on the stata listserve [by varlist:] egen newvar = var1
var2 [if exp] [in exp] [ ,covariance ].
But, unfortunately, I received a r198 error, indicating that the syntax is not
correct. Do you have any idea why I am receiving this message?
Thanks,
Jacob
