I am experiencing some unexpected behaviour from my fully updated Stata 9
running on Windows XP. I wonder if anyone can confirm the following.
It's about this simple program:
clear
sysuse auto
set tracedepth 1
set tracenumber on
set trace on
logistic foreign headroom
If I -do- the program from the do-file editor, I get this result:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------ begin logistic ---
02 - version 6.0, missing
02 - local version : di "version " string(_caller()) ", missing :"
02 - if _by() {
If, on the other hand, I copy and paste the lines into the command window, I
get this (which is what I expected):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------- begin logistic ---
01 - version 6.0, missing
01 - local version : di "version " string(_caller()) ", missing :"
01 - if _by() {
These two outputs are similar except from the numbering and tabbing, I'd
say.
If, in the do-file editor, I change -set tracedepth 1- to -set tracedepth
3-, the tracenumbers will range from 2 to 4. If I do the same from the
command window, I get the expected range of 1 to 3.
