There is nothing wrong with the -legend()- call.
However, you need a comma before the option, i.e.
just before or just after the "///".
Crashing may seem a little disproportionate
here as a response to this small syntax error.
However, as far as Stata is concerned
legend( label(1 "HAQ") label(2 "EQ5D5") label(3 "EQ5D5-SF") label(4
"SF-6D") label(5 "EuroQol"))
is all part of your varlist, and for other reasons parentheses ( )
are allowed as part of a varlist specification.
My wild guess is that Stata is thrown by the _nesting_ of
parentheses -- in, as said, what it thinks is a varlist.
