Dear list members,
a question about matewmf or its subsequent version matmap, both from SSC. These commands can return the error r(504), 'matrix would have missing values'. However, the description of the error says that "This return code is now infrequently used because, beginning with version 8, Stata now permits missing values in matrices". My question is: given the current legality of missing values in matrices, would capture successfully execute the code previously stopped by this error (assuming of course no other error occurs)? For various reasons, I'd like to get this information from those who already know, rather than by trying with my code - including that there may be reasons not to do it that are not immediately evident.
