You may have used -univar- with success under Stata 10 but this bug has
been lying there for years waiting to bite you. It's not the change to
Stata 11 that is to blame for anything. Today it got you.
The problem diagnosis and solution are documented in
"Why does a program defined by an ado-file sometimes not work when given
a string comparison?"
<http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/lang/define.html>
However, it is easier to update your code by downloading from the STB-51
archives. The version on SSC is out-of-date.

I have a strange phenomenon with -univar- (downloadable from ssc).
I run the following command and get an error message
univar time_lag if decision_editoriale!="Reject"
Reject not found
r(111);
decision_editoriale is a string variable.
I am almost sure that I used this command many times with Stata 10
without any problem.
When I use -summarize-, I have no problem.
. su time_lag if decision_editoriale!="Reject"
Variable | Obs Mean Std. Dev. Min Max
-------------+--------------------------------------------------------
time_lag | 20 80.65 23.74708 42 137
Would you have any idea?
