st: Looping graphs and changing graphs name

Dear all,
I'm having a problem using levelsof.
I know this subject has been widely discussed in previous posts.
Unfortunately my loop over values of a string variable doesn't want to
work and I can't figure out why.
I have a dataset containing incidence et mortality rates by age
categories (clage). I have a string variable containing cancer
localisations (loc).
I want to graph incidence and mortality rates per age category and
produce one graph per cancer localisation. I want the created graphs to
have the name of the given cancer localisation.
My dataset looks the following
************
loc clage incid morta
Système Nerveux 50-54 23.96 5.99
Système Nerveux 55-59 30.11 10.03
Système Nerveux 60-64 58.73 22.58
Système Nerveux 65-69 49.92 16.64
Système Nerveux 70-74 58.20 47.28
Système Nerveux 75-79 121.10 60.55
Système Nerveux 80-84 90.43 71.05
Système Nerveux 85and + 103.26 150.20
**************
When I execute the following code, Stata doesn't go over the different
localisations.
However, the loop works as long as I don't try to save the graph with
the cancer localisation's name (command line name("`lev'", replace)
here under).
*******************************************
levelsof loc
foreach lev in `r(levels)' {
preserve
keep if loc=="`lev'"
twoway (line incid clage, sort) ///
(line morta clage, sort ) ///
title("`lev'") ///
name("`lev'", replace)
restore
}
****************************************
I get the following message :
Système Nerveux : .twowaygraph_g.new (line incid clage, sort) (line
morta clage, sort), title("Système Nerveux Central"): class type not
found
r(4018);
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Evelyne
