I have difficulty knowing what you realised but did not tell us!

However, I see a different and more convincing problem.

-mark- is an existing Stata command. So, any attempt to run a program
-mark- will always be interpreted in favour of the existing command.
Your syntax is, as far as official -mark- is concerned, quite illegal.

Hence rename your program so that it does not clash in name with
existing commands. To check compatibility, use -which-.
