First off, your 2 logistic commands look identical to me. I'm guessing that when you ran it the first time and got the error, you did not have the i.

Assuming that is the case, this is no error. The i. tells Stata that the variable is categorical rather than continuous. See the help for margins. Or, for some highlights on the margins command, see

I am analysing a logistic regression model, binary outcome. I want to
analyse the adjusted proportion of the outcome for a binary (0/1)

I run the logistic model followed by margins
. logistic dod30dgr  i.lapscopiintent alder aldersq........
. margins lapscopiintent

I get an error
'lapscopiintent' not found in list of covariates
r(322);

If I put i. before the binary variable I am interested in

. logistic dod30dgr  i.lapscopiintent alder aldersq................
. margins lapscopiintent

Predictive margins Number of obs   = 166811
Model VCE    : OIM

Expression   : Pr(dod30dgr), predict()

1     .0011487   .0002518 4.56 0.000 .0006552 .0016421

I assume this is a bug?
