Title

mkspline2 -- Linear and restricted cubic spline construction for use with the postrcspline package

Description

mkspline2 works exactly the same as mkspline, except that it leaves behind information on which variables have been created, the original variable, and the knots as characteristics. If other restricted cubic splines were created using mkspline2, than mkspline2 will overwrite information from the previous splines. As a consequence, the post-estimation commands adjustrcspline and mfxrcspline will only use information from the last spline created by mkspline2.

The syntax and the options are discussed in the helpfile of mkspline.
