Please help! sttocc does not work in stata ver 17.0

[Sunyoung Cho]

Best everyone

I am trying to create a nested case-control using sttocc. I bought stata ver 17.0 a few days ago. I ran sttocc with this, and it comes out as follows- error messages. What should I do? Even after updating, it doesn't work. The syntax below is a direct copy of the sttocc example (https://www.stata.com/manuals/ststtocc.pdf). please tell me the solution!!!

Best regards

Data are st/Stata 6 and not st/Stata 5. You are running the old Stata 5 version of st. We provide it so that researchers may reproduce old analyses. If you do not mean to be running the old system, type . version 6 if you do mean to be running the old system, type . version 5 stset ... fill in the dots with old syntax) When you are done, type . version 6

Using Stata 15.1, I encountered no problems in running the preceding code:

use https://www.stata-press.com/data/r17/diet
stset dox, failure(fail) enter(time doe) id(id) origin(time dob) scale(365.25)
set seed 9123456
sttocc, match(job) n(5) nodots

Using Stata 15.1, I encountered no problems in running the preceding code:

use https://www.stata-press.com/data/r17/diet
stset dox, failure(fail) enter(time doe) id(id) origin(time dob) scale(365.25)
set seed 9123456
sttocc, match(job) n(5) nodots

This also works in Stata 17.

Thanks to everyone who reviewed. There must be something wrong with the software. I deleted it and reinstalled it, and sttocc was able to run.
