You seem to be mixing the ||-separator and ()-binding notation.
Try this:
twoway (scatter capture lngdpppp if year==1988 & group==1) ///
(qfit capture lngdpppp if year==1988 & group==1) ///
(scatter capture lngdpppp if year==1998 & group==1) ///
(qfit capture lngdpppp if year==1998 & group==1)
Hope this helps,
Scott
