Hi all,

I am trying to figure out the best way to set a seed and have reproducible results.
Now, I am playing a little bit with rngstate in STATA 13 but an error appears according to which rngstet does not exist.

My simple code is as follows:

Code:
clear all
set more off
macro drop _all
scalar drop _all
capture postutil clear

set seed 12345

generate x = runiform()
local state `c(rngstate)'
generate y = runiform()
set rngstate `state'
generate z = runiform()
list
the error is

Code:
-set rngstate- not allowed; 'rngstate' not recognized
any idea about the reason why?

Than you
