Thanks Joe and Nick,
I used the encode command to turn the class variable 'a' into a
numeric value. However, for anova command to work, all the dependent
variables must be of integer value. If I assigned integer values for
all the dependent variables, then it would not lead me to the same
results I get from the GLM command in SAS. Yes, I did use the # for
the interaction effects in my STATA code. Would you suggest the glm
command in STATA?
x is the dependent var
a and b are the classification effects
Thanks.
