Hi, 

I entered this generating graph command, but STATA 11 told me 
invalid '&' 
r(198);

My command was
graph bar e1 e2 e3 e4 if N34==237 | N34==2361 , over(Time,label(angle(45) labsize(small)) relabel(1 "2004q2" 2 "2004q3" 3 "2004q4" 4 "2005q1" 5 "2005q2" 6 "2005q3" 7 "2005q4" 8 "2006q1" 9 "2006q2" 10 "2006q3" )) by(N34, iscale(.5) title("Change in Proportions", 2004q1-2006q3", size(small))  note("Data Source", justification(right) position(5)  alignment(baseline) size(vsmall))  ) stack bar(1, fcolor(navy) lcolor(navy)) bar(2, fcolor(maroon) lcolor(maroon)) bar(3, fcolor(ltblue) lcolor(ltblue)) bar(4, fcolor(orange) lcolor(orange)) 
ytitle("Changes in Percentage (%)", size(small)) ylabel(, valuelabel  labsize(small)) legend(order(1 "Gains" 2 "Losses " 3 "Gains2" 4 "Losses2"    ) size(vsmall) )


Then I used the windows graph assist program, stata system entered this following command after I filling every necessary box:
graph bar (asis)e1 e2 e3 e4 if N34==237 | N34==2361 , over(Quarter, relabel(1
"2004q2" 2 "2004q3" 3 "2004q4" 4
"2005q1" 5 "2005q2" 6 "2005q3" 7
"2005q4" 8 "2006q1" 9 "2006q2" 10
"2006q3" )
label(angle(forty_five) labsize(small))) stack bar(1, fcolor(navy)
lcolor(navy)) bar(2, fcolor(maroon) lcolor(maroon)) bar(3, fcolor(ltblue)
lcolor(ltblue)) bar(4, fcolor(orange) lcolor(orange)) ytitle("
Change in Percentage") ytitle(, size(small)) ylabel(,
labels labsize(small) valuelabel) by(,
title("Change in Proportions", size(small)) note(
"Data Sources", size(vsmall) position(5))) by(, legend(on)) legend(order(1 "Gains" 2 "Losses" 3 "Gains2" 4 "Losses2") size(vsmall)) by(N34)


however. stata 11 again returned:
invalid '&' 
r(198);


Now I am frustrated.

I did not seem to have that problem before when using STATA 9

Your help would be greatly appreciated

Ting
