I'm having an early evening junior moment (and about to log off) but
could you not:

svy: mean bu_SA, over(Lbu_SA)

and use lincom to estimate the difference, and obtain SE/CIs for the
difference using that? 

Best wishes

Oh to have junior moments!  Shaun: thanks, your suggestion provides a
solution for me.

Here's an illustration using the union data set:

     Strata 1: <one>
         SU 1: idcode
        FPC 1: <zero>

. ge byte Lunion = L.union
(16639 missing values generated)


. svy: tabulate Lunion union, row se

Subject: st: SE/CI for difference in transition matrix row proportions
after -svy tabulate- twoway

I'm having an early evening senior moment, and can't figure out how to
calculate, from saved results after -svy tabulate-, the difference
between two elements of a 2x2 transition matrix and the associated
SE/CI. I've been browsing svy help and documentation, and can't find the
answer directly. Part of my problem is not understanding precisely what
is stored in the saved variance-covariance matrix.

Below is example output from a simplified example. I have a binary
measure of receipt at t-1 and at t, and cross-tabulate them. The two
transition proportions of interest are the entry rate, P(0,1), which is
estimated to be 0.0335 in the example, and the stayer rate, P(1,1),
which is estimated to be 0.6553 in the example. I want not only the the
difference P(1,1) - P(0,1), but also a SE/CI for the difference, which I
was assuming I could calculate from the saved results. Suggestions
please.
