st: Label problem

["Alexandra de Montrichard" <ademontr@comcast.net>]

I'm trying to attach labels as part of a recode but although it looks to
me as if I have the same code as in one of the stata help examples it
doesn't work. 

recode q143 q144 q145 q146 q147 q149 q150 q151 q152  (1=4) (2=3) (3=2)
(4=1), gen(q143r q144r q145r q146r q147r q149r q150r q151r q152r)
label(agreesc)

The regular label assignment syntax works fine: label values q143r
agreesc

Any pointers as to what the problem might be would be greatly
appreciated.

Thank you,
Alexandra
