I posted this to the list yesterday but it didn't make it through, probably because I forgot to turn html off (*!�$% Outlook!).  Here it is again.

Ines,
 
This is probably just a terminological issue.  Some authors use "Sargan statistic", some "Hansen J statistic", some "Sargan-Hansen", etc., even when they mean the same thing.  If there is a convention, it is that "Sargan" applies to the homoskedastic case and "Hansen" to the heteroskedastic or "sandwich covariance" case, but this is far from universally followed.  In any case, you just need to check the xtabond2 help file and the xtabond manual entry and see whether what xtabond2 calls a "Sargan statistic" is the statistic you want.  My guess is that it is.
 
Cheers,
