Ok, let me guess: You are entering these commands from the command line
where "/* slope 1*/" is not allowed as a comment delimiter. So Stata reads
the last part of your -global- which is "SAP" and then continues with the
"/" b/c it does not know about your intention to comment out. Drop those
comments and try again, or run from the do file editor.
My earlier code was used to check whether what you are trying to do is at
all feasible. I tend to post such things so that others can step into the
discussions more easily...

Unfortunately, the _SAP was not the problem. It was an artifact of my
cut and paste.
The message I receive is after the lincom $HPNHAF /* slope 1*/ command
It says SAP/ invalid name.
I am sorry but I don't follow the code below. What is this doing? I am
relatively new to coding in Stata.
