Can we use fre command in Stata 16?

[Howard Wu]

I checked my ado/plus folder. Clearly, fre is already installed. But when I tried to use fre command, it shows an error message:

command fre is unrecognized

Anyone encounters the same situation? Thanks.

What does

ssc install fre

give you?

shows you where Stata will look for command code, and the places shown must include the directory or folder containing fre. You may need to change PLUS using sysdir set PLUS <whatever>.

ssc install fre

This is what I had:

checking fre consistency and verifying not already installed...
installing into c:\ado\plus\...
file c:\ado\plus\next.trk already exists
r(602);

Hi Nick,

Thanks. I change the path for PLUS and OLDPLACE and reinstall fre. It works now.
