This is an example of matching with 3 neighbors.

psmatch2 improved, pscore(pscore) outcome(diarr) common caliper(.001)
neighbor(3)
There are observations with identical propensity score values.
The sort order of the data could affect your results.
Make sure that the sort order is random before calling psmatch2.
(4005 missing values generated)

Variable     Sample     Treated     Controls   Difference         S.E.   T-stat

ATT  .104893374   .110885821  -.005992448   .007151216    -0.84

Note: S.E. for ATT does not take into account that the propensity
score is estimated.
