Hi _ In Stata 13 (and also in Stata 12), it appears that the abbreviation with a dash "-" does not work with -describe using-
e.g.
use temp,clear
. des y1-y2 using ajit_112213
variable - not found in file ajit_112213.dta
r(111);
. des y1 y2 using ajit_112213
storage display value
variable name type format label variable label
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
y1 float %8.0g seatedegress
y2 float %8.0g pegboard
But the asterisk does work:
. des y* using ajit_112213
storage display value
variable name type format label variable label
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
y1 float %8.0g seatedegress
y2 float %8.0g pegboard
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Al Feiveson
