st: RE: -nlsur- AIDS

[Nick Cox <n.j.cox@durham.ac.uk>]

You haven't declared a6 or b6 to be -tempname-s. I stopped reading at that point.

I have a 5-good AIDS demand system. Below is the code for the function
evaluator program followed by the -nlsur- command. The problem is that
Stata returns the following message:

nlsuraids returned 9
verify that nlsuraidsmeso2 is a function evaluator program

I've checked the code a number of times and I don't know where's the
mistake. Is there anyone patient enough to try to find it? Thanks in
advance!
