Outreg2: type mismatch error

[James Chikelu]

Hello,

I ran this code:

reg ln_ipo_trust_amt_mn und_goldstar inv_sent $year, vce(rob)
est store m1

reg ln_ipo_trust_amt_mn und_goldstar inv_sent $spac $year, vce(rob)
est store m2

Then ran the following code to export the output:

outreg2 [m1 m2] using "Results/reg_result_v2", excel replace ///
dec(3) label ///
ctitle("Model 1" "Model 2") ///
alpha(0.01, 0.05, 0.10) symbol("**", "*", "+") ///
keep(ln_ipo_trust_amt_mn und_goldstar inv_sent) ///
addtext(Incorp. Location FE, "YES", SPAC-HQ FE, "YES", Year FE, "YES")

But I get the error message:

type mismatch
r(109);

est dir shows the two regressions in memory.

I am working with stata 18 and I am not sure what the problem is. The syntax looks good.

Please help me if you have an idea.

outreg2 is from SSC (FAQ Advice #12). Eliminate the quotation marks within -symbol()-.

... symbol(**, *, +) ...

Otherwise, you can look at where some code fails using

set trace on

Thank you for the update. That was the problem.
