twoway bar with stack option and connected lines

[Peter Ulu]

Hello All,
I am trying to make a bar graph with 6 variables. I need to stack them up over years and need to add 3 other variables on the same graph as connected lines. Basically, I want to have stacked bars and connected lines on the same graph.
I tried this code: "twoway bar var1 year || rbar var1 var2 year || var1 var2 var3 year || line var7 var8 var9 year"
I got error message as; "rbar requires 3 variables" , basically rbar does not work with more than three vars.
I would appreciate for any help.
Thanks

Your statement that rbar does not work with more than three variables is correct but does not appear to apply to your code.

The fragment

 
var1 var2 var3 year

doesn't define a legal graph command. I guess you meant

 
rbar var2 var3 year

Hi Nick,
Yes, But it is a typo. I meant "rbar var1 var2 var3 year". However, Four variables are not good for rbar command.
I also tried "graph bar" command with stack option. This worked for making bars for 5 variables over 'year' variable, but I could not add a connected line on the same graph for other 3 variables.
Do you know any other command to make stacked bars and connected lines on the same graph?
thanks

I already suggested what I think will work for you. To spell it all out,

 
twoway bar var1 year || rbar var1 var2 year || rbar var2 var3 year || line var7 var8 var9 year
