Fw: st: ROC question: STATA vs SPSS

Thanks.
I re-read the footnote on my SPSS output, and as it turns out, "a. The smallest cutoff value is the minimum observed test value minus 1, and the largest cutoff value is the maximum observed test value plus 1. All the other cutoff values are the averages of two consecutive ordered observed test values."
The "test value minus 1" explains the negative value. This is a valuable lesson to me!

Please provide the syntax and outputs in SPSS and Stata if you need
help with interpreting any output differences.

AUC, but no negative cutoff, and everything else (CIs, cutoffs) are ever-so-slightly off compared to SPSS.
