My apologies. As I have done some more testing I have learned it is not
a difference between command line and .do file operation.
This code works as expected:
scatter comprate week || ///
fpfit comprate week ||, ///
by (unit)
However, this block fails with the message ") required":
scatter comprate week || ///
fpfit comprate week ||, ///
by (unit, total)
There appears to be yet another issue as the following works:
scatter comprate week ||, by (unit)
But, this does not:
scatter comprate week, by (unit)
The inclusion of suboptions fails in all cases and it does not seem to
matter what suboptions are used. I have tried several different -twoway-
plottypes, each yielding the same results.
Thanks again for any insight and assistance.
