-dydx(")- should be -dydx(*)-.
A " indicates the start of a string, so Stata sees:
margins, dydx(
Than a ", so it thinks `now a string is starting, lets wait
till it ends' and ofcourse it doesn't end. So after parsing
it is left with the fragment -margins, dydx(- and it asks
you `he, where is the closing bracket?'
Hope this helps,
