I'm using the user written command "sensatt" (https://www.stata-journal.com/sjpdf....iclenum=st0130) to perform sensitivity analysis after propensity matching.
My outcome variable is an efficient score and the treatment regards the transition between organizational settings, where the explanatory variables relates with external factors such as GDP per capita, if organizations are in urban areas, unemployment rate, etc.
Code is reflected on below.
The final message is that "Both the outcome and the selection effect are odds ratios from logit estimations"
My questions are: 1) What workaround should be followed to understand and solve this problem?
2) It seems that this command does not allow dummy variables (in my case B variable), but I'm not sure if it should be put in other way.
Thank you in advance.

The probability of having U=1 if T=1 and Y=1 (p11) is equal to: 0.00
The probability of having U=1 if T=1 and Y=0 (p10) is equal to: 0.00
The probability of having U=1 if T=0 and Y=1 (p01) is equal to: 0.00

The probability of having U=1 if T=0 (p0.) is equal to: 0.00
The program is iterating the ATT estimation with simulated confounder.
You have chosen to perform 100 iterations. This step may take a while.
