Hi listers
marking biostat exam my students have used the following "invalid" stata
syntax for egen, but with succes.
 egen gr=cut(x) , at(.1,.3,.5,.8,1) ,if y==1
wich give the same result as
 egen gr=cut(x) if y==1 , at(.1,.3,.5,.8,1)
Have any of you experinced other occations of violation of the
commandname varlist [in if], options
syntax
should this be okay or should I send a bug rapport to stata?
Best Lars
