With user-written postestimation commands, you often need to run the estimation command under version control. This is because ereturned results can change across versions of Stata, and the post-estimation command was written for an older format. Also, it may be that aflogit doesn't like variable names that are more than 8 characters, which I am guessing was Stata's limit way back when. The following code seems to work:

sysuse auto, clear
version 10: logit foreign mpg rep78
aflogit
clonevar displace = displacement
poisson price weight displace
aflogit

Hi
I am having difficulty with the user-written command aflogit.
Although it is expected to work after unconditional logit or poisson it does not work for me.

sysuse auto,clear
logit foreign mpg rep78
aflogit

this produce

Then I used the following.

poisson price weight   displacement
aflogit

This produces

Can someone help me.
I am using stata SE 11.2.
my version of aflogit is
c:\ado\plus\a\aflogit.ado
*! version 1.0.6   16 Sep 1997  STB-42 sbe21


Thank you
