one of the commands I used was:

metan a b c d, label(namevar=Author) by(HQ) random rr xlabel(0,1,5)
force

with this error:
invalid label specifier, :  0 "1" . "0" 0 "1" 1.6094379124341 "5":

or
metan a b c d, label(namevar=Author) by(HQ) random rr xlabel(0,1,5)
invalid label specifier, :  0 "1" . "0" 0 "1" 1.6094379124341 "5":

is that of any help?
