Thanks to Roger and Maarten, your replies were very helpful.
I meant to reply this morning, but the message was returned by the Major.
So, Maarten said that "it seems to me that the problem is that you are
using an old version of -parmest-. This is why it is crucial to
specify where you found a user written program: there are often
multiple version floating around in cyber space. Often the one on SSC
is the most recent."
Thanks for this advice Maarten. I'll try to do that in future when
posting about user-written commands.
and Roger added that "parmest (without any options) should fail after
ANY estimation command, because -parmest- requires at least 1 of the
output-destination options -list()-,
> -saving()-, -norestore- and/or -fast-."
Interestingly, the command didn't fail when I ran it with no options
with logit, but seemed to do what I required (albeit writing over the
dataset in memory when it did so), but I shall make sure that I use
the options once I've got it up and running.
Thanks also to Roger, for your subsequent follow up with regards to
the 10.1 version which I was just about to flag. I've got the 10.1
version installed and it seems to be working fine - I can now make my
graph!
Best wishes,
Jamie
