Hi - I am running logistic regression on simulated data sets. However
sometimes one of the explanatory variables completely separates the
outcome variable and I get a message such as 

outcome = X2 <= .1955861 predicts data perfectly
r(2000);

Presumably if I get a return code of 2000, I know this has occurred -
but is there information in logit postestimation to tell which variable
gives perfect separation (as opposed to checking each one "by hand")?

Thanks
