Command c is Unrecognized (Tabout)

[Hedy Yang]

Hello,

I was trying to create a table using tabout, but it kept showing that "command c is unrecognized r(199)". Does anyone know the reason?

Here is my code:
ssc install tabout, replace

tabout ampreg asex using text9,
c(mean a_cc_satisfaction) sum


I use Stata/SE 14.0.
I had looked at examples in page 25 (http://www.ianwatson.com.au/stata/tabout_tutorial.pdf), the author was also using c(mean xxx). I didn't know why it didn't work in my code.


Thank you!

It looks like you have a line break after your comma. You'll notice that in the example there are 3 slashes at the end of the line. That tells Stata that the command continues onto the next line. Otherwise each line is assumed to be a new command.

Try

tabout ampreg asex using text9, /// 
c(mean a_cc_satisfaction) sum

or

tabout ampreg asex using text9, c(mean a_cc_satisfaction) sum

It worked! Thank you so much!
