Try using parentheses around the "diameter", instead of braces.

I am a beginning stat major, and I am trying to figure out how to command the stata program to take the square root of a data set, after I have already infiled some data.

I typed:

gen square = sqrt{diameter}

it says sqrt not found.

does anyone know the command?
