Hi hangochen,

I suspect ftools is not in updated. Can you run:

which reghdfe
which ftools

What I get on my end after these commands is:

. which reghdfe
c:\ado\plus\r\reghdfe.ado
*! version 6.12.3 08aug2023

. 
. which ftools
c:\ado\plus\f\ftools.ado
*! version 2.49.1 08aug2023

Thanks Sergio, for your quick response! I see. Yes, the error no longer persists after I updated ftools.
