I'm sorry for not being more specific, but it doesnt matter what I do.
I've tried using it on my original dataset using
. graph bar (mean) gcs_mottak, over(mors)
variable mors not found
r(111);
Next I've done both -list gcs_mottak mors, codebook gcs_mottak mors
-confirming that the variables are still there.
. graph bar (mean) gcs_mottak, over(mors)
variable mors not found
r(111);
. codebook mors gcs_mottak
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mors
RECODE of mors30
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
type: numeric (long)
label: janei
range: [0,1] units: 1
unique values: 2 missing .: 1/2164

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
gcs_mottak
(unlabeled)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
type: numeric (byte)
range: [3,15] units: 1
unique values: 13 missing .: 1/2164

std. dev: 4.50606
percentiles: 10% 25% 50% 75% 90%

Then I've looked through the tutorials and clicked on almost all of them, eg
. gr_example2 grbar0b
-> graph bar (asis) tempjan, over(region)
variable _variables not found
r(111);
However different graph commands work as long as I dont use the -over- option.
The update swap was done, and I get the following
. update swap
1. Removing older backups
File C:\Program Files\Stata10\wmpstata.bin was not found, aborting swap.
r(601);
PS I was just browsing your (Svend Juul) book "stata for health
researchers" for a solution when I got your response. Great book, but
I couldnt find the solution to my problem:-)
