Hi Mr. Samuels,
Thanks for  helping out! I really apprecaite it.
Sorry to bother you again . After adding the statement that I forgot,
the SPSS result is still different from Stata. It'll be great if you
could give me some suggestion how to revise the commands to get the
same result as Stata.  Thanks a lot!
Mandy
Here's the command revised:
------------------------------------------SPSS--------------------------------------------------------------
MIXED lnhr WITH lnwg kids ageh agesq disab
  /FIXED=lnwg kids ageh agesq disab | SSTYPE(3)
 /METHOD=REML
 /RANDOM = INTERCEPT  |  SUBJECT(id)
 /PRINT=SOLUTION.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------						95%
