Bar chart with frequency percentages

[Ashtone lazarre]

Hello,
It's been a while since I last used Stata, and now i'm having issues with a basic bar graph

I have a categorical variable "married" with 0 and 1 ( married and not married ) and I wish to graph a bar chart with percentages for each category.
I tried using graph bar (percent), over(married) but it's not working, also tried the user interface but couldn't manage to get it.

Thank you in advance for your help.
Ash,

You can run the commands here which seem to match yours.

. sysuse auto, clear
(1978 Automobile Data)

. graph bar (percent) , over(foreign)

. graph bar (percent) , over(foreign) blabel(total)

. tab foreign

   Car type |      Freq.     Percent        Cum.
------------+-----------------------------------
   Domestic |         52       70.27       70.27
    Foreign |         22       29.73      100.00
------------+-----------------------------------
      Total |         74      100.00

What is "not working" there?

Hello Nick,
Thank you for you fast reply,

Using the code you provided I get the following error : "(ercent) invalid statistic" , which is the same error I get on my dataset ,
I think stata doesn't recognize percent

Note: I have stata 13.0 MP

Thank you again

You typed ercent but you need percent.
