Which version are you using? From within Stata, use -which ivreg2-.
Mine shows:
. which ivreg2
c:\ado10\plus\i\ivreg2.ado
*! ivreg2 2.2.09 17jul2008
*! authors cfb & mes
*! see end of file for version comments
and the clickable example in the help file is:
. ivreg2 lwage exper expersq (educ=age kidslt6 kidsge6), endog(educ)
