ivqreg.ado can't run command

[Le T. Quach]

Hi,

I can't run the ivqreg command. This is my first time using a user-written program. I assume that I just paste the .ado file contents into my command window and then I am able to use the command.
I am using the ivqreg.ado file found on http://faculty.chicagobooth.edu/chri...research/#Code. I downloaded the file on Chrome then copy and pasted the .ado file contents into my command window. There were no problems with running it. Then I used the command:
ivqreg zhfa2006 cshock2002 cshockepi06 ecozone06 ecozone02 sex ageorder lngbfed numante mtweight mtbmi06 chdborn brchk infkid schkid NagHFF02 sectors Nplus lsyear02 AGimp06 lstockimp06 bsize agemum02 agecare mumed daded careed cd cd2006 sv sv2006 hq hq2006 access13 typesite typesite2006 agemon02 dur0206 agedur zoneshock02 zoneshock06 topshock02 topshock06 cshock06mbmi sexcropfail lsshock02 lsshock06 welfshock (bwght_lbs=zhfa)

and Stata writes: invalid syntax r(197)

Also, I can't locate the .ado file using Stata's command:
. viewsource ivqreg.ado
file "ivqreg.ado" not found

I've tried the suggestions here: http://www.stata.com/statalist/archi.../msg00808.html but they don't work for me. I found the folder that holds all the stata.ado files and also moved the folder contents from the download to the respective folder. I also tried all of the folder locations.

I am using Stata/SE 12.1. MacBook Pro OS X, version 10.9.3.

I tried using the -set trace on- to find the problem with the program but I don't understand the output at all.

Thank you.

Welcome to Statalist. As you guessed, you're handling user-written commands incorrectly. You need to 'install' them -- meaning getting all the relevant files, and storing them in the right directories. For packages that are on SSC, this is easy: you simply type ssc install <packagename> and it's all done automatically. More generally, after doing a search or findit for packages, you'll typically have clickable links to follow that do the installation in an analogous manner. So, (1) you need to install ivqreg correctly. (2) Thank you for stating the provenance of the user-written command (as asked by the forum FAQ). This is really important in your case because search does not give any hits for ivreg! All the files should be downloaded to either PERSONAL (type sysdir to see what directory that is), or the relevant subdirectory of PLUS (ditto). (3) again from the FAQ. please look at how to use the advanced editor when you are composing posts as you did: long amounts of code output should be enclosed in appropriate CODE delimiters so that it is legible.

Hi Stephen,
After the file is in the folder (see picture) a.i. where sysdir directs for PLUS, what exactly do I do to be able to use the command? When I insert the command program ivqreg, Stata writes:

ivqreg already defined
r(110);

Now, when I command viewsource ivqreg.ado, Stata identifies where I put the file and pulls up the Viewer to show the .ado program code for ivqreg (see picture). Is that what happens when a correctly (and manually) downloaded .ado file do when it is in the right location for this command?

I've tried running the .ado and then exiting Stata, thinking that maybe it needs to me to restart to use a manually downloaded program. This doesn't work. I still get the error

My apologies for the novice question. I already have installed several packages through the Stata options (ssc, findit...) and have no problems using those packages.

Thank you for your response.

[Stephen Jenkins]

In haste: Q1: check that you don't have multiple instances of ivqreg installed now. Use which ivqreg to check you're getting expected behaviour, and delete/reinstall as necessary. Q2 (syntax error): there looks to be something wrong at the very end of your command line (NB better to put this in the delimited code as well). Do you need an additional space before the weighting statement? Have you got the weighting statement correct? Check the syntax diagram for ivqreg shown its help file (I'm assuming there is one!), or by looking at the ado file as you did using viewsource. Good luck.
PS note that error 197 in full means the following:

[P]     error . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  Return code 197
        invalid syntax;
        This error is produced by syntax and other parsing commands when
        there is a syntax error in the use of the command itself rather
        than in what is being parsed.

Maybe you haven't installed all the required files from the URL you mentioned? Experiment more with set trace on too to try and track where the problem is.
