st: -local- problem
Date

Hello colleagues, I am in try to make a -local- with the following command:
local m=r(mean)
local sd=r(sd)
Then I try to generate a variable.
gen affiloui2=(affiloui - 'm')/'sd'
but it gives me an error
'm' invalid name
r(198);
I have tried with double quotes but even then it is not working. How this problem can be solved? Is there any problem in making -local-? Note that affiloui is already a variable in the database.
