invalid syntax error

Hi,

There is some sort of issue here with "sum `var' if (poolednormscore2> -$bw2lvp & poolednormscore2 < 0 ) & allbw==1" this line. If I take it out, it runs. I have tried a bunch of things but I am just not sure what is going on. Allbw is a var that =0 or =1 depending on if I want you in this sample.

eststo clear

We need to see what's inside the global bw21vp to comment.

di "$bw21vp"

Well, thank you! That is the issue--I thought this was defined but it was not, lol. That fixed it
