Dear Statalisters,
It is not rare for me to write Stata programs and face problems like the
one just mentioned below. I will be very grateful for any expert opinion.
Thank you so much for your time.
All the best,
Tiago

MODEL(string) pa(string) INCREMENT(real)
scalar n_x = 100000
scalar PREV = "`k'"
scalar affected = PREV*n_x
end

. example, means(100) sds(1) ors(1.2,1.3,1.5) loci(4) k(0.3)
model(genetic_stuff) pa(0.4) increment(0.000001)
type mismatch
r(109);
If I delete the last line:
scalar affected = PREV*n_x
the program works fine.
