Take a look at the help for -forvalues-. The range can be
specified in one of four ways. Just listing some numbers is not
one of the allowed ways.
If you wanted just the values 84 and 86 you could have used
forvalues Y = 84(2)86 {;
If you wanted the values 84, 85, and 86 you could use
forvalues Y = 84/86 {;
as well as several other ways.
If you have an arbitrary set of numbers, then you will want to
use the -foreach- command.
When you run into troubles like this you can also -set trace on-
(see help trace) to see which of the many lines of code is giving
you trouble.
