st: Mtest Mstat problem

[James Kirkbride <jbk25@cam.ac.uk>]

Dear all

I am hoping for advice on an issue I cannot find detailed on the web, on 
these archives or in the documentation provided with the mstat & mtest 
commands (see http://www.stata-journal.com/article.html?article=st0228)

I would like to conduct an mtest to determine whether the spatial 
distribution of two groups (based on their residential x-y coordinates) 
differs.

I believe I have set-up my data files correctly according to the mtest 
documentation, but when I run the mstat command I get an r3301 error 
message "3301 subscript invalid". When I run the mtest command I do not 
get this error message but the output table does not provide any 
statistics:

. mtest, x(oseast1m) y(osnrth1m) g(status) iter(10000) scatter density

M statistic
Monte Carlo permutation results
H0: The two groups have the same spatial distribution
Number of bins = 20
Number of permutations = 10000

M(obs)       c       n   p=c/n   SE(p) [95% Conf. Interval]

.       .       .       .       .         .          .

I would be grateful for any help offered on this matter. I have tried 
running this in both Stata 11 & 12. Just to say that the graphs produced 
by these commands execute successfully.

Thank you

James
