> I created a person-period data set using prsnperd command to conduct a

>  
> . prsnperd childid minccage1 censored, t(72)
> No variation in event occurence for period 22!
> No variation in event occurence for period 32!
> No variation in event occurence for period 66!
> No variation in event occurence for period 68!
> No variation in event occurence for period 72!

> If I understand correctly, _period variable created by prsnperd should

> variable in the model, has a maximum value of 72. And here's what I

>     _period |      Freq.     Percent        Cum.
