Well, you must fix the rest of your program
accordingly. e.g.
di `name'
to
di "`name'"
It's the first that is producing the
problem.
Learning the difference between displaying
the name and the associated value is crucial
here.
levels cty, local(lev)
qui foreach y of local lev {
local name = country1[`y']
noi di "`name'"
#delimit ;
tw line var1 year if cty==`y', yaxis(1) clp(solid)
|| line var2 year if cty==`y', yaxis(2) clp(dash)
title("`name'") ytitle("mytitle", axis(1))
ytitle("mytitle2", axis(2))
legend(label(1 "label1") label(2 "label2"))
note("mynotes");
noi di "Graph cty`y' Saved" ;
#delimit cr
}
