In addition to this work-around, it does seem
at first sight that Garry has been bitten by a bug
in -countfit-. -countfit- accepts a string
as the argument to -inflate()- but internally
it calls another program that only accepts
a varlist in the corresponding argument.
That therefore chokes on -_cons-.
The -countfit- code includes this intriguing
segment:
** better way to do this?
local nvars : word count `varlist'
foreach i of numlist 2(1)`nvars' {
local var : word `i' of `varlist'
local inflate "`inflate' `var'"
}
I suggest instead
gettoken response inflate : varlist
