st: syntax error using summarize command inside a macro

["Marcella Sapun" <msapun@jhu.edu>]

Hi there,

I am trying to produce a summary statistics on a series of variables
using the command SUM inside a macro subroutine. Apparently, my
"try=off" program (see below) is not working because a syntax error. I
cannot find the error. Would anybody be able to see it?

Thanks!

Marcella.
