Dear Kit:

-overid- works like a charm now. Thank you very much for providing Stata users with such a great resource and for updating the code!

There is a small discrepancy in the overidentification statistic.

. reg3 (dv = iv) (iv = ex1 ex2), 2sls

Two-stage least-squares regression

What is a little odd, though, is that the Hansen Sargan statistic returned by overid (using a simple two-equation model with 2SLS) is not the same as ivreg2:

. ivreg2 dv (iv=ex1 ex2),
