You posted the same question earlier today. Please be more patient.
There are many reasons for why you do not get a response immediately:
Many set some time aside, typically at the beginning or end of the
work day, on which they answer questions to Statalist. This is a very
sensible strategy for them; that way they can get the work for which
they are paid done. However, that does mean that you'll just have to
wait.
Even those that do not follow that very sensible strategy will reserve
some time for sleeping, eating and the like. The usual hours for these
activities tend to depend on once time zone...
Some people cannot answer or just don't want to answer this question.
None of this is going to change by repeating exactly the same question
within a few hours. However, this is going to annoy some people on
this list, because it showed that you did not read the Statalist FAQ <
http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/resources/statalist-faq/> before
posting to the list.
