Assistance with troubleshooting code

Hello Statlist Colleagues:

I am working on replicating code to make the figure on page 26 of this slide deck with my variables of interest: https://www.princeton.edu/~otorres/Panel101.pdf


Below is the code I used:

twoway scatter economic_freedom_summary_index year, msymbol (circle_hollow) color(gs14) || ///
    connected mean_economicfree year, msymbol(diamond) sort ///
            ylabel (0(1)10, angle(0) labsize(2) format(%7.0fc)) ///
            xlabel (2006(1)2018, angle(45) labsize(2) grid) ///
            title(Economic Freedom) xtitle(Year, size (2.5)) ///
            legend(label(1 "Economic Freedom per country") label(2 "Mean Economic Freedom per year"))

When I modify the code from the slide deck, I get the following error in the output:

I realized I should have shred an image of the figure I was trying to produce in the original post.

The code is not robust to the spaces that you introduce between ylabel/xlabel and the opening parenthesis.

twoway scatter economic_freedom_summary_index year, msymbol (circle_hollow) color(gs14) || ///
    connected mean_economicfree year, msymbol(diamond) sort ///
            ylabel(0(1)10, angle(0) labsize(2) format(%7.0fc)) ///
            xlabel(2006(1)2018, angle(45) labsize(2) grid) ///
            title(Economic Freedom) xtitle(Year, size (2.5)) ///
            legend(label(1 "Economic Freedom per country") label(2 "Mean Economic Freedom per year"))
