option stat() not allowed

[Marina Keroles]

Hello I am trying to generate a table in my data set

table fisei_08_cat, stat(mean part) nototals

I am using this code and it works perfectly alone. It doesn't work and it gives me option stat() not allowed error when I run the file.

Also When I highlight this code and what is after it it works and what it is before it works. But the error is there when I run the whole file
I am using stata version 14.1

You're using some source that uses the syntax introduced for table in version 17. You need to use the syntax that applies in your version as detailed by help table in your Stata.

contents(mean part)

may be as much as you need to change, but there may be more change needed. I no longer have access to Stata 14.
