set seed 3
genr norm=normal()
set seed 3
genr norm2=normal()
print norm norm2 --byobs
and you get
Obs norm norm2
1:01 1.232701 1.232701
1:02 -1.862191 -1.862191
1:03 1.277692 1.277692
1:04 0.033582 0.033582
Well, this was the result I expected also from the GUI dialog box, as in
the second generation, in the box for "seed" remained the "3" from
the
previous one, so I thought I was setting also the seed to "3".
