Arnold,
Since you do not show the Stata -svyset- output, nor the Stata
estimation commands and output, nor the equivalent SAS commands and
output. Please do so. If there are so many variables as to make
scanning the output difficult, please run the commands with as few
variables as needed to demonstrate the issue. Best would be to use one
of the downloadable example data sets from the Stata survey manual.
