st: general varlist in programs

I am using Stata v.8, and I want to write a program like

program progname
syntax varlist
...
end

Where I can call it in a statement like

progname y x* z*

When I try to do so, it gives me an error "* invalid name".

In the overall program that I am writing, I need to input different numbers of x and z variables, so it's not feasible for me to type them all out in the program call.

This must be a simple fix, but I just can't find the solution in the help files. Does anyone know what to do?

Kyle
