Has anyone run into trouble using ICE in Stata 10? When attempting
to use the passive and substitute options, I get an error message
that states "Unknown function index()". I have followed examples
and done a lot of troubleshooting, but this error message is
persistent and I don't know the reason for it. Below is an example
of my syntax:
Also, there are various incarnations of ice floating around. There
is an updated version of the ice that appeared in the Stata
Journal. It is called st0067_2 and is dated Dec. 5, 2005.
However, SSC also has a version, simply called ice, and it is dated
Sept 14, 2007. My guess is that this is the latest and greatest version.
My experience is that, when there are multiple versions, the SSC
version tends to be the most up to date, but there are exceptions to
that. Unfortunately, if you have, say the st0067_2 version,
adoupdate isn't going to catch that there is a more current version on SSC.
I love Stata Journal, but it is important to realize it does not
always have the latest versions of the programs that initially appeared in it.
