st: problem with spearman option: stats

[- <mc_allister@gmx.de>]

Dear statalisters,

I have a problem with spearman, perhaps because I use stata8:

I used spearman A B, stats (rho obs p) to display the correlation 
coefficient, number of observations, and significance level. But stata 
always says: options not allowed, r(101). What is wrong? Alternatively, 
it would help me to get a hint how to create tables for spearman (like 
outreg for regressions).

In addition, I got a rank correlation coefficient of 0.6 between 
variable "A" and variable "B". Now I would like to say: A has a 
correlation with B of 0.65, suggesting that A explains ?% of the 
variation in B. Does anyone know which command to use?

Hope someone can help me.

Thanks,
Silke Rottenberg
