Right Maarten, I should be more precise.
Without the comma: - tobit var1 var 2 var 3 var4..., ll(0) constraint(1) - gives the message "option constraint() not allowed, r(198)".
With the comma: - tobit var1 var 2 var 3 var4..., ll(0), constraint(1) - gives the message "invalid 'constraint', r(198)".

"Does not work" can mean a lot of things. It is much more informative
if you told us what Stata told you when you tried that command.
I can see one error though: -tobit var1 var 2 var 3 var4..., ll(0),
constraint(1)- should have been: -tobit var1 var 2 var 3 var4...,
ll(0) constraint(1)-, i.e. without the second comma. In a Stata
command the comma indicates "all that follows are options", so you do
not separate options with commas.
