st: matvlc option not allowed after -anova-

["Feiveson, Alan H. (JSC-SK311)" <alan.h.feiveson@nasa.gov>]

Hi - I can't seem to get the syntax correct for the -matvlc- optin after anova. Here's what the help file says under anova postestimation:


Syntax for test after anova

    test, test(matname) [mtest[(opt)] matvlc(matname)]                  syntax 1
 
    matvlc(matname), a programmer's option, saves the variance-covariance matrix
        of the linear combinations involved in the suite of tests.  For the test
        Lb = c, what is returned in matname is LVL', where V is the estimated
        variance-covariance matrix of b.

But when I try the -matvlc- option, I get an error:

Can anyone tell me what's wrong?

Thanks
