outreg

[islam abdelbary]

Hello everyone,

I usually used outreg to compare between models in the Stata itself, for example(from several do file I used before):

reg y x
outreg, starlevels(10 5 1) se summstat(F\r2) summtitle(F statistic \Adjusted R2)
reg y x g
outreg, merge starlevels(10 5 1) se summstat(F\r2) summtitle(F statistic \Adjusted R2)


then I used outreg2 to put the selected estimations on an externl program such as MS Word.

nowadays, outreg command does not work like before and Stata shows wrong message "using required".

Did something happen in the last few months in the commend like update because I always used as above and was working very well?!

Thanks for the help,
Islam

outreg

and

outreg2

from SSC haven't been changed for a few years, as

ssc desc outreg 
ssc desc outreg2

will show.

Implicit in Nick's answer is that since nothing has changed with either outreg or outreg2, something has changed in the code you are using.

Your post #1 shows us a sort of an example from a do-file you used before, with a description that suggest you use both outreg and outreg2, but no example of outreg2 (and since help outreg2 tells us the first call to it requires the using option, that would seem a likely source of a problem).

Perhaos we can help you find what is wrong with what you have done if you show us what you have done to cause the problem, rather than what you might have done in the past.

Take a few moments to review the Statalist FAQ linked to from the top of the page, as well as from the Advice on Posting link on the page you used to create your post. Note especially sections 9-12 on how to best pose your question. It's particularly helpful to copy commands and output from your Stata Results window and paste them into your Statalist post using code delimiters [CODE] and [/CODE], and to use the dataex command to provide sample data, as described in section 12 of the FAQ.

The more you help others understand your problem, the more likely others are to be able to help you solve your problem.

Section 12.1 is particularly pertinent

12.1 What to say about your commands and your problem

Say exactly what you typed and exactly what Stata typed (or did) in response. N.B. exactly!

Select and copy your commands and their output in Stata's Results window, then paste that into a post using code delimiters [CODE] and [/CODE] and then perhaps someone call understand what has gone wrong.
