st: setting subcosts using sqom-ado

["Tisch Anita" <Anita.Tisch@iab.de>]

I have a problem using the sqom-ado. I want to use transition probabilities to set the subcosts. Thanks to the ado-files I can easily do so by using the (meanprobdistance) option. Unfortunately Stata gives me a error message:

subcosthash():  3204  <tmp>[8,1] found where scalar required
needlemanwunschexactmatrix():     -  function returned error
               sqomref():     -  function returned error
                 <istmt>:     -  function returned error

Return code 3204 = ‘matrix found where square required’

Hence, Stata is giving me a subcost-matrix, but it is not symmetric? Is this causing the problem? Any ideas how I can solve it?

Thanks 
Anita
