That second comma in your syntax may come back to haunt you... Play around with the example in the help file to see what works and what doesn`t:
*************
sysuse auto, clear
digdis price, by(rep) gen(myvar) pos(2)
digdis price, by(rep) ,gen(myvar) pos(2)
*************

Betreff: st: Help on DIGDIS Syntax
Hello:
I am using Stata 9.2 Intercooled. I am trying to use the DIGDIS ado from
http://ideas.repec.org/c/boc/bocode/s456853.html.
The data set has the following variables:
licenceid (Licence number of a fisherman)
totalkgs (the weight of the fish landed by the fisherman)
I am trying to get the Benford distribution of the first digits of the
variable totalkgs, and have that result saved into a new variable.
The way that I am structuring the syntax is:
digdis totalkgs, by(licenceid), generate(b1)
My understanding is that I have to specify one "newvar" for each input
variable. I am new to Stata and I am not sure i have the syntax correct.
Any thoughts? Thanks,
Scott
