Also note that the loop is not necessary here, as -recode- allows a varlist.

Dear Statalist,
[...]
In a dataset I have, I need to replace zeros with "missing" for all
variables in the dataset.
[...]
<CODE>
use auto,clear
local variables rep78
foreach var of varlist `variables'{
* recode `var'(3=mis) /// fails
* recode `var'(3=sysmiss) /// fails
* recode `var'(3=missing) /// fails
* recode `var'(3=`missing') /// fails
* recode `var'(3=-9999) /// works
recode `var'(3=.) /// works
}
<\CODE>
