Here is a more simple example. I also should have mentioned I am using
Stata/SE 8.2.
. input numvar str1 strvar
numvar strvar
1. 5
2. 6 "a"
3. 7 "b"
4. end
. egen testsum_1 = sum(numvar)
. egen testmedian_1 = sum(numvar)
. egen testsum_2 = sum(numvar) if strvar=="a"
(2 missing values generated)
. egen testmedian_2 = median(numvar) if strvar=="a"
a not found
r(111);
.

Subject: st: error with -egen median if-
Can anyone explain this weird error (the type mismatch failure on the
final -egen-)?
