You are expecting -spatgsa- (M. Pisati, STB-60, 2001), written for
Stata 7, to be cognisant of Mata, added in Stata 9, in general and of
the results of -sppack- (D. Drukker et al. SSC, 2012) in particular.
This won't work directly. -spatgsa- is completely incapable of
recognising anything produced by Mata. How easy it is to convert Mata
results into something readable by -spatgsa- I couldn't say It may be
easiest to use the information you used to create your matrix to
create something readable by -spatgsa-.
Note that you are asked in the FAQ to say _where_ user-written
commands you refer to come from, and indeed to flesh out minimal name
(date) references.
