Thanks Martin,

Sorry for not being clear on this list. What I am trying to calculate is 
, cumulative density of the standard normal or the standard normal 
density, respectively. I was trying with

cumul x, gen(y)       // x = ((z-m)/sqrt(s))

but what I am getting is not consistent. By the way, does /cumul/ do the 
same job as normal(.) or normalden(.) in Stata?

Thanks in advance,

EJ
