It is not clear what you think is a problem. Something like "Spain95"
could be the value of a string variable or the value label of a
numeric variable, which seems as much flexibility as you might want.

Apart from -graph combine-, not relevant here, the -combine- command
appears to be a specialist user-written command for meta-analysts on
SSC. Again what it has to do with your question isn't clear.

(Very common words such as -combine- are likely to be grabbed by
StataCorp for their own commands.)
