Amadou wants to do

Myprog x1 x2 x3, by(V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 V6)    with an indeterminate number
of vars in by() and
where the code reads BYGroup([varlist2])   (I'm not sure what Stata
thinks of that)

But the name of the option that can be worked with is bygroup, not
varlist2:

. program amadou
   1. syntax anything, BYgroup(string)
   2. di "`anything'"
   3. di "`bygroup'"
   4. end

. amadou turn, by( price mpg rep78)
turn
price mpg rep78
