Sure, I inserted the variables and entered the commands as follows:
. foreach v of varlist [em lnrwr lnreo lnpac] {
2. bysort id: egen mean_`v'=mean(`v')
3. drop mean_`v'
4. gen wem wlnrwr wlnreo wlnpac
5. }
varlist required
r(100);

Did you forget to list your variables in [YOUR VARIABLES HERE] ? If
not, please show your commands as the FAQ request
