Fabian,
which version of Stata are you using? In Stata 9 and 10, -tostring- is
an official command. There exists a user-written command -tostring-
which does not allow the generate option (it instead overwrites the
existing variable). Check which one you are using, by typing -which
tostring- in Stata.
