score06 giving me error

[Aye Aye Khaine]

Hello,

I run the following zscore06 commands and giving me the error message:

zscore06, a(child_valid_age)
s(child_sex) female(0) male(1)
h(height_cms)
w(weight_kg)
measure(hieght_measured) recum(1) stand(2)


the error message:
zscore06, a(child_valid_age)
option s() required
r(198);

You appear to have continued your command on several lines. Stata stopped paying attention after the first line, before it got to the s(child_sex) option you provided.

If this command is in a do-file, it needs line continuation indicators at the end of each continued line.

zscore06, a(child_valid_age) ///
s(child_sex) female(0) male(1) ///
h(height_cms) ///
w(weight_kg) ///
measure(hieght_measured) recum(1) stand(2)

If this is a command you typed into Stata's Command window, or copy-and-pasted it there, the Command window does not allow continuation lines. You have to just keep typing and allow the command to "wrap" in the Command window.

zscore06, a(child_valid_age) s(child_sex) female(0) male(1) h(height_cms) w(weight_kg) measure(hieght_measured) recum(1) stand(2)

Thank you. I am trying it again.

Hi,
I also tried the following, but with the message:

//egen WLZ_WHO=zanthro(weight,wl,WHO), xvar(height) gender(gender) gencode(male=1, fem
> //ale=2) nocutoff
//(Z values generated for 3927 cases)
//(gender was assumed to be coded male=1, female=2)
//(Z values can be missing because xvar is nonpositive or otherwise
//out of range for the chart code, or the gender variable is missing)
//(9257 missing values generated)//


Is there away how I can further define the variable height, for children 24months as length between 45-100cm and 6as standing height 65-200cm as said by WHO.
How can I modify the code with [if] and [in] as suggested in stata journal?

OR any guidance you may have.
Thank you,
