to get away from command ab is unrecognized

[Victor Kiondo]

Hi my question is simple, i get command ab is unrecognized how can I get away from this

[Andrew Musau]

Can you show exactly what you typed and the resulting error? Copy directly from the results window.

[Victor Kiondo]

The problem is I dont know how to copy results from the result window to the statalist forum

Andrew Musau Unless i take a picture as an attachment and send it here which is something thats not wanted here

[Jared Greathouse]

I don't know how else to explain this. Just copy the text you have in the do file/ the text you typed and put it in the code delimiters. So if I wanted to do this, I would just literally first, click the number sign next to the quotation marks, and, with one code on its own line and the last code on another line, I would fill in my code by copying and pasting it.

sysuse auto, clear

The FAQ explains this. And if all else fails, watch this

gen incdegini= decilecentred*ginicentred

lab var incdegini "income deciles * gini"

lab var decile "decile of equivalised income"

ab var eta "age"

lab var debt_growthrate "household loans"

lab var gini_k "gini"

I think I managed thankyou Jared Greathouse and Andrew Musau

[Andrew Musau]

ab var eta "age"

should be

lab var eta "age"

lab is short for label. See

help label

[William Lisowski]

ab var eta "age"

should be

lab var eta "age"

just like the two commands before it and the two commands after it.
