Type mismatch when using stcrprep

[Andreas Jensen]

Hello everyone

I have a problem with 'type mismatch' (r(109)) when running stcrprep.
This is my initial stset command:

stset a_timevar, enter(time a_entrydate) f(event=1,2) id(id)

This seems to work. At least the st setting information looks as expected.
Then I run:

stcrprep, events(event) trans(1)

Now I get the following error:

stcrprep's delayed entry implementation is experimental
Use with caution.
type mismatch
r(109);

I do not think delayed entry is the problem, since I tried doing the same thing, but with origin(a_entrydate) instead of enter(time a_entrydate) in the initial stset command, resulting in the reduced but otherwise identical error message after running stcrprep:

type mismatch
r(109);

Does anyone know/have an idea what causes the 'type mismatch' ?
My Stata work is on an external server, so I cannot copy the code directly. Unfortunately. Of course I will provide further information if necessary for identifying the problem.

Thank you very much for any help,
Andreas Jensen

The 'type mismatch' problem is now solved. Changing the type of the id-variable from string to numeric did the job.
However, another problem occurs. I posted the problem here: https://www.statalist.org/forums/for...nning-stcrprep
