Equivalent code in STATA 17

[Oliver Scott]

Hi all,

I have made some tables to compare characteristics after running a propensity score model in STATA 13.1 as below:

*table binary variable if _weight==1, c(n time5 sum time5 sum _d) row

_d is a variable created when stsetting, time5 is my 'time to death' variable from survival analysis, and n represents the number of subjects in each group.

In STATA 17, 'contents' (the little c in the above line of code) is not allowed and the code won't run. I was wondering if anyone would happen to know how to write code in STATA 17 so I could produce tables as I have in STATA 13.1 using the above code?

Many thanks, Oliver

I am not fluent in the new table syntax but I know that you can continue to use the old syntax in Stata 17 under version control. I can't imagine that if qualifiers are supported differently.

. sysuse auto, clear 
(1978 automobile data)

. 
. version 16: table foreign, c(n mpg sum mpg sum weight) row
