Problem with estpost and esttab

[Gaia Gaudenzi]

Dear all,

I am trying to export two tables with the usual code, which a while ago was working perfectly. Now it just produces two empty tables with only LaTeX preamble. I post the code with the web dataset I am using here below:

    use https://stats.idre.ucla.edu/stat/stata/notes/hsb2, clear

    estpost tabstat read female write, c(stat) stat(sum mean sd min max n) 
    
    esttab using "$teout/table1.tex", replace ////
           cells("sum(fmt(%13.0fc)) mean(fmt(%13.2fc)) sd(fmt(%13.2fc)) min max count") nonumber ///
           nomtitle nonote noobs label booktabs ///
           collabels("Sum" "Mean" "SD" "Min" "Max" "N")
    
    eststo clear  // clear the est locals
    
    estpost tabstat read write, by(female) c(stat) stat(mean sd) nototal
    
    esttab using "$teout/table2.tex", replace ///
           main(mean %15.2f) aux(sd %15.2f) nostar nonumber unstack ///
           compress nonote noobs gap label booktabs   ///
           collabels(none) ///
           eqlabels("Male" "Female") /// 
           nomtitles

Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong? Thank you very much in advance!

estout is from SSC, as you are asked to explain (FAQ Advice #12). Can you copy and paste exactly the result from the following?

   use https://stats.idre.ucla.edu/stat/stata/notes/hsb2, clear

    estpost tabstat read female write, c(stat) stat(sum mean sd min max n)
    
    esttab, replace ////
           cells("sum(fmt(%13.0fc)) mean(fmt(%13.2fc)) sd(fmt(%13.2fc)) min max count") nonumber ///
           nomtitle nonote noobs label booktabs ///
           collabels("Sum" "Mean" "SD" "Min" "Max" "N")
    
    eststo clear  // clear the est locals
    
    estpost tabstat read write, by(female) c(stat) stat(mean sd) nototal
    
    esttab, replace ///
           main(mean %15.2f) aux(sd %15.2f) nostar nonumber unstack ///
           compress nonote noobs gap label booktabs   ///
           collabels(none) ///
           eqlabels("Male" "Female") ///
           nomtitles
