The forvalues command is specified incorrectly. You will also want to change
the max value to 46 and have the loop start at 2, not 1
forvalues x= 2/46 {
drop hvidx_0`x'
}
You will also want to have more drop lines to list the other variable stubs you
want dropped. but only you know the full pattern of variable names that you want
to be dropped...

forval x in 1/6{
2. drop hvidx_0`x'
3. }
invalid syntax
r(198);
