This question refer to the -sq- package for sequence analysis available with
-ssc install sq-.
What you report seems odd. The error message you mentioned is neither coded
into -sqom-, nor into -sqset-. Error messages like those you mention here are
typical for the -sqstat- commands (sqstattab1, sqstattab2, sqstattabsum,
etc.).
For now, the only explanation I have has to do with the delimiter. It seems
that you use ";" as delimiter. Can you check out if there is a -sqstat*-
command upstream, which missing it's delimiter?
