Adding the ; did not fix the problem.
My log file now looks like this ...
delimiter now ;
. forvalues Y = 84 86 {;
2. log using make`Y'.log, text replace;
3. global yr `Y';
4. do read`Y';
5. do lbl`Y';
6. do common;
7. gen index=_n;
8. label var index "Record number";
9. gen int panelyr=1900 + `Y';
10. replace panelyr=2000 + `Y' if `Y'<=3;
11. label var panelyr "SIPP Survey Year";
12. compress;
13. aorder;
14. order panelyr wave index;
15. save sipp`Y'.dta,replace;
16. do month;
17. save sipp`Y'm.dta,replace;
18. log close;
19. };
invalid syntax
r(198);
end of do-file
r(198);
