Thank you Rich but the coding below produced another error message:

"file panel1.gph not found"

local i=1
foreach v of varlist HIP1824Px HIP1836Px HIP1819Px {
graph bar total_episd_amt if LOS>0 & hospital_group=="" &
separation_fy=="2010/11", over (COMPTOT, relabel(2 "Complication" 1
"NoComplication")) over(`v', relabel(2 "`v'"  1 "Other admissions")) title
("Mean episode amount overnight stays, public hospitals 2010/11") subtitle
("`v' with/without complications") name(panel`i')
local i=`i'+1
}

graph combine panel1.gph panel2.gph panel3.gph,cols(1)

My loop with the local `i' is sending graphs into a void or overwriting
them

Any more suggestions please?

Paul
