deprecated as a way of continuing Statalist threads for all the
reasons already explained in detail at

Indeed, here's another reason not mentioned there, but I trust clear
enough. A posting to a Statalist thread can often contain precisely
all that someone knows about a subject. It is not an offer to provide
further private support.
Now for a direct answer.
Sorry, but as I already indicated I don't do this kind of thing and I
have no idea whether your problem has already been solved, or even if
it is a good question.
Also, I doubt that the manuals anywhere discuss propensity score
matching. This is one of many areas which StataCorp is, I guess, very
happy to leave to users who have that specific interest and do work in
that area.
I hope you get better replies from people who know about this.
