st: function evaluator program syntax error
Date

Dear colleagues,
I am trying to estimate by using non linear squares (nl) a long
equation. So i have to use the Function Evaluator Program before nl.
I follow the help menu but I get the message
"nlfijos5 returned 198
verify that nlfijos5 is a function evaluator program"
Sure i have a syntax error I do not see..but I tried everything and i
cannot find it. I sum up what i do in case someone can tell me what
the mistake might be. Probably it is at the beginning of the program.
Thanks all.

program nlfijos5
syntax varlist (min=1 max=116) if , at(name)
local gtotalimports: word 1 of `varlist'
(here the rest of 116 variables in the equation, because of
fixed effects and time dummies)
...
// Retrieve parameters out of at
tempname a2 a3 a4 a5 a6 a7 a8 a9 a10 a11 ...
scalar `a2' = `at'[1,1]
*...(all parameters i have)
//Some temporary variables
tempvar time fijos eq
generate double `time' = `a2' * `dy2' + ...
....(my temporary equations and the equation to be estimated)...
end
nl fijos5 @ y x1 x2....variables, parameters and initial values
