Scatter Plot Diagram Title

[Sun Yong Kim]

Hi

I am using the following code to construct a scatter plot:

twoway (scatter beta alpha, title("Regression Tests of UIP"), mlabel(ID)) (lfit beta alpha), ytitle(Beta) legend(lab(1 "Beta"))

However I keep getting error message: mlabel: operator invalid

Any ideas? The code works if I drop the title:

twoway (scatter beta alpha, title("My Title"), mlabel(ID)) (lfit beta alpha), ytitle(Beta) legend(lab(1 "Beta"))

Too many commas. The syntax error is, in my view, easier to see with || syntax.

twoway scatter beta alpha, title("Regression Tests of UIP") mlabel(ID) || lfit beta alpha, ytitle(Beta) legend(lab(1 "Beta"))
