st: command: svar in Stata11

[Peter Claeys <peter.claeys@ub.edu>]

Dear all,

I am using Stata11 to set up an SVAR model. Before going to program my 
own material, I tried to replicate the examples on the SVAR Help.

I get an error message, after doing these 3 lines, telling me the following:


    webuse m1gdp
    matrix lr = (.,0\0,.)
    svar d.ln_m1 d.ln_gdp, lreq(lr)

r125
numdepvars() invalid -- invalid number, outside of allowed range

So it seems that if I have 2 variables, the program does not understand 
I have a 2x2 matrix with restriction (or vice versa).

I checked, and updated, my Stata11 license, and even with the most 
recent update, I get this message. Is there some practical issue I am 
overlooking?

thanks a lot,

Peter
