Abstract: We introduce the assertk command, beginning with a motivation and a comparison with the built-in assert command. We will then show some examples demonstrating the various options that can be used to produce customized output and to perform more complex checks. assertk is a simple utility that makes data consistency checking and reporting on data quality easy. The built-in Stata command assert checks each observation for a specified condition and halts do-files and ado-files when the specified condition is not satisfied. For example: . assert age entry
