st: Re: Error message when using overid after ivprobit

[Alita Nandi <anandi@essex.ac.uk>]

Thanks. Sorry about that.

To illustrate the problem, I have now run the relevant Stata commands 
using a Stata dataset, lbw.dta.

First I ran the following code
ivprobit low age lwt race smoke (ui = ptl ht), twostep

This worked well. Next I ran the following code
overid

This is a user-written code

                stillman@motu.org.nz

Then I got the following error message:
invalid syntax
r(197);

Thanks,
Alita

Two suggestions:

1. Explain where user-written programs you refer to come from.
(-overid-, -ivreg2-, ...)

2. Give a complete example of your exact syntax as typed into Stata
(not schematic syntax). If possible reproduce the problem with one of
Stata's own datasets.
