Using "foreach" to generate standardized variables

[Benjamin Gh]

Hi,

I am trying to generate standardized values of a list of variables I already have using "foreach" loop":

foreach var of varilist V9 V192 V114 V143 V71 V72 V88 V80-V89 V105-V113 V186 {

egen float z_`var' = std(`var'), mean(0) std(1)

}

I get the "inavlid syntax" error. Any advice on what is wrong?

foreach var of varlist

Thanks, such a stupid typo :-)
