Re: st: RE: error with -egen median if-

[n j cox <n.j.cox@durham.ac.uk>]

Alex Ogan reported a problem with -egen, median()-
and -if-. Austin Nichols posted code that works
around the problem.

The problem is explained in an FAQ

Why does a program defined by an ado-file sometimes not work when given 
a string comparison?

http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/lang/define.html

although this particular manifestation has been
lurking in official Stata code ever since Stata 6.
