Hi Dr. Shah — I ran across a Conformability Error when running mrtab with asdocx. Things work great for the following code:

asdocx mrtab total_doses_cat, by(studgr)

                                  |      Study group       
                                  |    WebTIPS     WebINFO |      Total
----------------------------------+------------------------+-----------
total_dose~t Total Doses Received |         95          85 |        180 
----------------------------------+------------------------+-----------
                            Total |         95          85 |        180 
                            Cases |         95          85 |        180 

Valid cases:        180
Missing cases:      257

However, when I add options, I get the error:

asdocx mrtab total_doses_cat, by(studgr) poly


            |      Study group       
            |    WebTIPS     WebINFO |      Total
------------+------------------------+-----------
 0                  <istmt>:  3200  conformability error
r(3200);




Here's some context using set trace on:

[code]

  - di as txt %`nwidth's "`:word `j' of`response''" " " _c
  = di as txt %2s "0" " " _c
 0   - mata: mrtab_body[`ThisRow',`ThisCol'] = "`:word`j' of `response''"
  = mata: mrtab_body[2, ] = "0"
                 <istmt>:  3200  conformability error

Any ideas?

Hello Kevin
The poly option was not previously supported in asdocx. I have added it now. You can update the mrtab package using the following link. Also update asdocx, then try the following example.

 net install asdocx_mrtab, from(http://fintechprofessor.com) replace
asdocx_update

* Load some example data
. use http://fmwww.bc.edu/RePEc/bocode/d/drugs.dta

* export the mrtab output with asdocx
asdocx  mrtab inco1-inco7, include title(Sources of income)  poly by(city) replace

            |  City in which the interview was   
 Sources of |             conducted              
     income |      Basel        Bern      Zurich |      Total
