command running is unrecognized

[Eugene Lau]

I'm have Version 15.1
I'm trying out some code from Flexible Parametric Survival Analysis Using Stata: Beyond the Cox Model.
It appears the code were written circa Version 11.
The code chokes at line 5 and I'm getting the error: command running is unrecognized
What would be the equivalent to line 5 for more recent versions of Stata?

use ew_breast_ch7, clear
stset survtime, failure(dead==1) exit(time 5) id(ident)
stcox dep5, nolog noshow
predict sca1, scaledsch
running sca1 _t if _d == 1, gen(smooth_sca) gense(smooth_sca_se) nodraw
gen smooth_esca = exp(smooth_sca)
gen smooth_esca_lci = exp(smooth_sca - 1.96*smooth_sca_se)
gen smooth_esca_uci = exp(smooth_sca + 1.96*smooth_sca_se)
local beta = exp(_b[dep5])

at least on my machine, -running- is user-written and needs to be installed; use -search- or -findit- to locate and install

Rich Goldstein is right. As a keyword running is not ideal, but the early history is exposed by

 search sed9, entry historical

Search of official help files, FAQs, Examples, and Stata Journals

Of the various authors Peter Sasieni and Patrick Royston are not active here. The version on SSC is the one I would go for. as more up-to-date.

I tend to use lpoly myself for anything similar.
