I am getting an error on the following code:

#delimit ;
forvalues Y = 84 86 {
log using make`Y'.log,text replace;
global yr `Y';
do read`Y';
do lbl`Y';
do common;
gen index=_n;
label var index "Record number";
gen int panelyr=1900 + `Y';
replace panelyr=2000 + `Y' if `Y'<=3;
label var panelyr "SIPP Survey Year";
compress;
aorder;
order panelyr wave index;
save sipp`Y'.dta,replace;
do month;
save sipp`Y'm.dta,replace;
log close;
};


Stata log ...

. forvalues Y = 84 86 {
> log using make`Y'.log,text replace;
  2. global yr `Y';
  3. do read`Y';
  4. do lbl`Y';
  5. do common;
  6. gen index=_n;
  7. label var index "Record number";
  8. gen int panelyr=1900 + `Y';
  9. replace panelyr=2000 + `Y' if `Y'<=3;
 10. label var panelyr "SIPP Survey Year";
 11. compress;
 12. aorder;
 13. order panelyr wave index;
 14.  save sipp`Y'.dta,replace;
 15. do month;
 16. save sipp`Y'm.dta,replace;
 17. log close;
 18. };
invalid syntax
r(198);

end of do-file
r(198);


What am I doing wrong?
