Michael, you have a slanted quote to the right of "i". It should be straight: p`i'

Thanks for replying NIck. I tried the clearing suggestion but I receive the same error per the following:
. local rn
. do "C:\Users\Mike\AppData\Local\Temp\STD00000000.tmp"
. // calculate elasticities at deciles over full sample:
. forvalues i=10(10)90 {
2. quietly margins, eyex(_all) at((p`i´) _all)
3. local rn "`rn´ p`i´"
4. matrix nu = nullmat(nu) \ r(b)
5. }
too few quotes
r(132);
end of do-file
I set trace on and it gives me this:
- version 11
- .cmdline = `"`e(cmdline)'"'
= .cmdline = `"regress gaspc Income Gasp PNC PUC PPT PD PN PS"'
- .ZERO = `"`0'"'
= .ZERO = `", eyex(_all) at((p
too few quotes
Any help would be appreciated.
