Re: st: tabulate produces inconsistent output?

[Christian Raschke <crasch2@tigers.lsu.edu>]

Thanks for the answer. I did try a different and I achieve the expected 
result: -tab- works correctly. Also, a new Stata session on the same 
machine produces the expected result: -tab- works correctly. Even 
slightly different syntax in the same broken session (e.g. adding a 
subsetting if statement) works as expected.

But the fact that something went very wrong and now I cannot reproduce 
it is precisely what worries me. I would at least like to know what 
happened to be sure to avoid that in the future.

Thanks for all replies. Unless someone else has a hunch I will probably 
end up taking up the issue with State Tech support.
