Dear All:

I have a strange phenomenon with -univar- (downloadable from ssc).

I run the following command and get an error message

univar time_lag if  decision_editoriale!="Reject"
Reject not found
r(111);

decision_editoriale is a string variable.

I am almost sure that I used this command many times with Stata 10 without any problem.

When I use -summarize-, I have no problem.

. su time_lag if  decision_editoriale!="Reject"

    Variable |       Obs        Mean    Std. Dev.       Min        Max
-------------+--------------------------------------------------------
    time_lag |        20       80.65    23.74708         42        137

Would you have any idea?

Best regards

Herve Stolowy
