Hi Nick,
thank you for your answer.
Two things:
1) The Difference Sargan Test is standard in connection with GMM system estimation, so given the fact that System GMM was recently implemented in Stata 10, I could hardly believe that this test was apparently left out. I thought that there might be another possibility to carry out the test, maybe by programming (I don't know).
2) Since I'm relatively new to Stata I do not know what you mean with 'to look at the code'. Consequently, I would highly appreciate if you can give me further information.
Regards,
John.

I don't have any information that you don't have,
but it is my experience that StataCorp do not
in general implement tests but then hide that
fact. You could explore further by looking at
the code, which I haven't done.
