Hi,

I would loop over lname not var:

foreach lname in lnamelist {
histogram `lname',  by(AID4, col(1))
graph save histogram`lname'
}

Nick, thank you very much for the further advice, which makes the syntax more efficient. Given the loop syntax I have, how to save all the histogram graphs? If I use the code below, the error message says: "file histogram.gph already exists".


foreach var of varlist lp*{

     histogram `var',  by(AID4, col(1))

     graph save histogram
}
