My previous uses of rclass programs with return statements have behaved as documented. But today, I can not get return to return results from rclass programs. I have tried several examples with the same result. The simplest example follows.
do test1
. program test, rclass
1. drop _all
2. quietly: set obs 50
3. generate x = uniform()
4. summarize x
5. return scalar testmean = r(mean)
6. end
. return list
.
end of do-file
I am at a loss as to why return is not returning results. I would appreciate suggestions from much more expert Stata users.
Thanks.
