Hi Dr. Shah — I ran across a Conformability Error when running mrtab with asdocx. Things work great for the following code:

[code]

asdocx mrtab total_doses_cat, by(studgr)

| Study group
| WebTIPS WebINFO | Total
———————————-+————————+———–
total_dose~t Total Doses Received | 95 85 | 180
———————————-+————————+———–
Total | 95 85 | 180
Cases | 95 85 | 180

Valid cases: 180
Missing cases: 257

[/code]

However, when I add options, I get the error:

[code]

asdocx mrtab total_doses_cat, by(studgr) poly

| Study group
| WebTIPS WebINFO | Total
————+————————+———–
0 <istmt>: 3200 conformability error
r(3200);

Here’s some context using set trace on:

[code]

– di as txt %`nwidth’s “`:word `j’ of`response”” ” ” _c
= di as txt %2s “0” ” ” _c
0 – mata: mrtab_body[`ThisRow’,`ThisCol’] = “`:word`j’ of `response””
= mata: mrtab_body[2, ] = “0”
<istmt>: 3200 conformability error

[/code]

Any ideas?

Hello Kevin
The poly option was not previously supported in asdocx. I have added it now. You can update the mrtab package using the following link. Also update asdocx, then try the following example.

[code] net install asdocx_mrtab, from(http://fintechprofessor.com) replace
asdocx_update

* Load some example data
. use http://fmwww.bc.edu/RePEc/bocode/d/drugs.dta

* export the mrtab output with asdocx
asdocx mrtab inco1-inco7, include title(Sources of income) poly by(city) replace
