Dear all,
I am having problems with a function embedded in a customized program. Below is the said function:
real rowvector rs_max2(real matrix X)
{
real scalar j
real rowvector xres
real colvector v
/*designate vector xres to temporarily store the results:*/
xres = J(1, cols(X), .)
/*get the index for the maximum:*/
for(j=1; j<=cols(X); j++){
maxindex(X[.,j], 3, v=., .)
xres[1, j] = X[v[2],j]
}
return(xres)
}
I wrote this function to get the second smallest value for each column of a matrix X. It is part of an .ado program, which is very long. I believe the error occurs within this function because the error message I got when I execute the entire program is:
'real' found where almost anything else expected
(229 lines skipped)
, and the 229 lines from the bottom of the entire program is the line: " real scalar j" or " real rowvector xres"
I have scrutinized this function multiple times, but could not find an error. Could you please help me check which part of it is mistaken? Thank you very much in advance.
