outreg2 keep option does not work

[Ella Bedwing]

Hello,

I am in desperate need for some help for my thesis regarding Stata.

I would like to make use of the outreg2 command. However, when I use this command and specify the variables that should be kept, he ignores these variables and creates a list of all variables after which I get the notion that
I attempted to create a matrix with too many variables. However, I do not even want that much variables, however the code doesn't listen to my commands to keep only certain variables.

I used the following command:
outreg2 using x.doc, replace sum(log) keep(var x var y var z)

What is wrong with this way of typing which variables should be kept?

Thanks in advance!

Sorry for the edit of the post as I misunderstood your question earlier. I guess you need to:

outreg2 using filename, replace word sum(log) drop(varlist)

Hi Ella,

The -keep- option in outreg2 is working smoothly for me. Try this.

sysuse auto, clear
reg price headroom weight, r
    outreg2 using example.xls, replace keep(headroom)

If this does work, you may want to re-install the -outreg2- command in your computer by typing: sac install outreg2, replace

Hope this help
