I reproduced the error, too. I also found, though, that as a
work-around, you can -set level 80- before running the -svy: tab-:
. set level 80
. svy: tab vara varb, ci

Also not working on Stata SE 11.1. It looks like a bug to me. I

First off, we're in version 11.1
So we all admit that this is valid syntax
svyset [pweight=wt3]
svy: tab vara varb, ci level(80)
right?
It does a weighted tab of two vars and gives you confidence intervals, but
at the 80% level instead of 95. I've used code like this all the time
because we did a study where we reported everything at 80% cis for random
reasons.
This syntax works on my computer, and on MOST of my coworker's computer, but
for one of us, it doesn't work...it used to, but it doesn't now. It
generates an error message "option level() not allowed." The strange thing
is that he has multiple version of stata (one on his work computer and one
on his laptop) and it dosen't work on EITHER of them, but works on mine, and
another 2 coworkers' computers. The only thing that I can think of that's
different about him is that he has actually updated, and is running the sept
30th update, whereas the rest of us are lazy and haven't updated since July.
Now I'm scared to update, since I don't want this to start happening to me,
and I don't know if it's possible to un-update.
fun stuff:
-this only dosen't work on weighted tabs, the following code: "svy:reg vara
varb, level(80)" works fine
-if you type svy: tab vara varb, ci l(80) you get the same message (option
level() not found) so stata recognizes the command, just doesn't think it's
a valid option for tab.
So my question is
1) does anyone else have this problem?
2) does this seem to be due to a buggy update?
3) If so, a) can someone tell stata about this? b) is there a way to
rollback updated to a previous version?
