st: pscore vs. psmatch2

Dear Statalists,
I've been trying to calculate ATT using both pscore and psmatch2.
(1)
pscore Treat x1 x2 x3 , pscore(mypscore) blockid(myblock) comsup
numblo(5) level(0.005) logit
set seed 1221
attnd y Treat x1 x2 x3 , pscore(mypscore_ml) comsup boot reps(100) dots logit
(2)
psmatch2 Treat x1 x2 x3, outcome(y) logit
I confirmed that propensity scores are exactly the same in (1) and (2).
Q1: If I run psmatch2, I can get both unmatched and matched ATT as shown below.
Then what about "pscore"? Is ATT in Table 2 below based on the
matched sample?
<Table 1: psmatch2 results>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variable Sample | Treated Controls Difference
S.E. T-stat
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------
y Unmatched | 2.73645662 1.34825899 1.38819763
.24860504 5.58
ATT | 2.73645662 1.44619683 1.29025979
.954900678 1.35

Analytical standard errors
---------------------------------------------------------
n. treat. n. contr. ATT Std. Err. t
---------------------------------------------------------
85 27 0.077 0.073 1.061
---------------------------------------------------------
Note: the numbers of treated and controls refer to actual
nearest neighbour matches
Q2: How can I get the same results in both (1) and (2). In order to
get the result of (1), how can I revise the command of (2)
Actually, I tried with "common" option in (2) as below, but the
results are quite more different.
(2)' psmatch2 Treat x1 x2 x3, outcome(y) logit common
Thank you so much, as always.
Best,
YK
