using not allowed r(101); help!

[Alex Rice]

I'm completing a replication for stata for my hw.

here is the code:

. ssc install outreg2
checking outreg2 consistency and verifying not already installed...
installing into /Users/catherine/Library/Application Support/Stata/ado/plus/...
installation complete.

. qui xi: reg mrate legal outreg2 beertax using "../Output/table52.xls", replace bdec(2)
> sdec(2) excel noaster
using not allowed
r(101);

I'm recreating table 5.2

-outreg2- is a separate command from -qui xi: reg-. It has to start on a new line.

In general we don't support work on assignments, as the FAQ explains.

But I can't see any mention of regress or outreg2 in the code that applies. But one error is that you've written two commands on one line.

qui xi: reg mrate legal

outreg2 beertax using "../Output/table52.xls", replace bdec(2) sdec(2) excel noaster

I suspect some other errors in the first command, but I will stop there.
