winsor: generate() should give new variable name

[Eddie Pengma]

Dear:

I met another programming problems. Please read the following:

sum bankloan privateloan

Variable | Obs Mean Std. Dev. Min Max
-------------+--------------------------------------------------------
bankloan | 1218 3.82e-09 2.29e-08 0 1.95e-07
privateloan | 1204 2.47e-09 1.40e-08 0 1.19e-07


winsor bankloan, gen(bank_w) p(0.05) high
generate() should give new variable name
r(110);

end of do-file

r(110);

Actually, the bank_w is a new variable name I attached to the bankloan after it is winsored. I do not know why it still shows like this.

Best,

Eddie

Can you check this directly through

confirm new variable bank_w

I'm guessing that you've invoked the same command twice without dropping the newly created variable in between invocations.

Joseph: I think that's a good guess.
