I am lost, and I do not know anymore what I am doing wrong with this
very simple problem. I have been trying to get a very simple if-clause
to run in Mata, but it hasn't worked at all. I have finally reduced the
if-statement to the most simple form:
mata: if (1==1) results[1,1]
(results[1,1] should just output a number)
What I get is
unexpected end of line
<istmt> incomplete
If I do
. mata: if (1==1) {results[1,1]}
I get:
invalid expression
I have re-read the helpfile a couple of time, but I cannot figure out
what I am doing wrong. If I go into mata and enter the command by hand,
I get an ">" at the beginning of the line suggesting that Mata waits for
me to tell it that there is nothing else coming, but I have no clue how
to do that.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Daniel
