-post- complains with the most informative message possible: You set up the
-postfile- to expect seven elements, and then try to post eight to it. After
" af_colperc", all -postfile- expects is "overallfreq" and "overallcolperc",
but you provide three additional elements...

Betreff: st: Programing error
Dear Statalister,
Please, I need help with the following:
I am trying to export colpercent data from a 2x2 table into a word
document using the following formatting:
Variables SR (acxfa==0)
AF (acxfa==1)
N colpercent
N colpercent P-value
exitus_all N (%) 174 34.7
110 33.9 0.818
Variable
2...........................................................................
................................................
Others
variables...................................................................
...............................................
The 2x2 table for the first variables is below:
. tab exitus_all acxfa, m col chi2
+-------------------+
| Key |
|-------------------|
| frequency |
| column percentage |
+-------------------+
| acxfa
exitus_all | 0 1 | Total
-----------+----------------------+----------
0 | 327 214 | 541
| 65.27 66.05 | 65.58
-----------+----------------------+----------
1 | 174 110 | 284
| 34.73 33.95 | 34.42
-----------+----------------------+----------
Total | 501 324 | 825
| 100.00 100.00 | 100.00
Pearson chi2(1) = 0.0530 Pr = 0.818
This is the program I have tried:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------
use "C:\Users\Eduardo\Desktop\ACXFA\Analysis\Cox_version_AHFi_June HR
and AF.dta"
tempname hdle
capt erase info.dta
postfile `hdle' str10 var sr_freq sr_colperc /*
*/ af_freq af_colperc overallfreq overallcolperc/*
*/ using info
foreach var of varlist exitus_all rehosp rehosp_HF sudden_death
hf_death othercvdeaths CV_death nonCV_death unknown_death {
sum `var' if acxfa==0
loc sr_freq=r(N)
loc sr_colperc=r(mean)
sum `var' if acxfa==1
loc af_freq=r(N)
loc af_colperc=r(mean)
tab `var' acxfa, chi2
local pval=r(p_lr)
sum `var'
post `hdle' ("`var'") (`sr_freq') (`sr_colperc') /*
*/ (`af_freq') (`af_colperc') (`pval') /*
*/ (r(N)) (r(mean))
}
postclose `hdle'
use info, clear
l, abbrev(12) noobs sep(0)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------
This is the error message I get:
post: 7 expressions expected and more than 7 found
r(198);
end of do-file
I would appreciate any suggestion.
Thank you in advance,
Eduardo
