I guess the problem here is not the obvious: it is
with the way -foreach- is involed, not with the time-series operator.
The two -foreach- syntaxes using -in- and -of- should
not be conflated.
Stata is probably trying to execute
... if D1/10.group==1
and failing because the numerator, -D1- is not
found.
