In the help file it says -ds- has been dropped as official Stata as of version 9, although it still works and has a man page that will not be updated. It is officially "undocumented". When I read about that kind of Stata command, I see:
"Previously documented commands are commands of Stata from a previous
release that are no longer documented because they have been superseded
by more recent, better commands. The commands continue to work, although
sometimes only under version control. The help files for the commands
listed below are still available online to assist in understanding old
do-files and ado-files."
But in the documentation for -ds- I am not pointed to the replacement command, but a list of commands that might cover the lost function. What is the improved replacement for -ds, has(type numeric)-?
