Subject | st: Problem Using Matwrite, "unrecognized command" error |
Date | Thu, 14 Apr 2011 23:58:24 -0700 |
I am trying to use a user-written code, Matwrite, for converting Stata to Matlab. Although it is user-written, I was hoping it would be frequently enough used by Stata listers to ask a question, as I have not been able to get it to work, and keep getting the error "unrecognized command" I am using Stata 11 on PC. First, I verify once again that I have install Matwrite on computer. I type in "ssc install matwrite, replace", and Stata shows the following: . ssc install matwrite, replace checking matwrite consistency and verifying not already installed... all files already exist and are up to date. Next, here is some toy code that I try to call matwrite: clear set obs 5000 set seed 1234 gen x = uniform() gen y = 2*x + invnormal(uniform()) matwrite x y using c:\matlabfile, replace The last line yields the error: "unrecognized command." I am not sure why it says this. If I just type matwrite, it tells me "using required", as 'using' is a required option for matwrite, so Stata seems to recognize matwrite somewhere on my computer. In addition, an "unrecognized command" error is different from when you spell something incorrectly / you call something which is not installed. For example, if I type "reg_ress" into Stata, I get the error "unrecognized command: reg_ress". Does anyone know why I am receiving this error, and if so, how I might fix it?
