st: foreach with string

Dear Statalist
I have problems with the following commands:
levelsof SIZEBM,local(levels)
`"BH"' `"BL"' `"BM"' `"SH"' `"SL"' `"SM"'
foreach l of local levels {
egen meanwreturn_`l'=wtmean(trt1m) if SIZEBM==`l',weight(size) by(datemt)
}
BH not found
r(111);
wtmean is from SSC (David Kantor) to generate weighted mean. SIZEBM is a string variable. The aim is to calculate the size-weighted return for the different portfolios SIZEBM.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks in advance,
Fabian
