Yes, this is the key issue in why your dialog does nothing; you are telling Stata to act on something it does not have.
Another issue is that your quote marks in "put" commands are not balanced; Stata copes badly with this!

Subject: Re: st: RE: Re: RE: Dialogue box
Dear Jennifer,
Stata is not particularly verbose with error messages in dialogs, so
when it encounters an error in a dialog program (like your "command")
it just interrupts execution at that point, often without any
notification. There are [undocumented] ways to make it more
user-friendly though. In your case:
>>>>>>>>>EDIT transfa28 190 @ 60 20, label(transfe28)<<<<<<<<<<
is declared in the dialog definitions, but program "command" refers to:
>>>>>>>main.transfe28<<<<<<<<<<
Hence Stata tells me:
object main.transfe28 not found
error 9016
Fixing is easy, change "transfa28" to "transfe28"
Best regards,
Sergiy Radyakin
