Hi I am getting errors when using StataCall:

julia\> using StataCall  
julia\> df = DataFrame(myint = Int64.(floor.(100 .\* rand(Float64, 10))), myfloat = rand(Float64, 10))  
julia\> instructions = [“gen newvar1 = myint + myfloat”;  
“gen newvar2 = floor(\_n/2)”;  
“bysort newvar2: egen newvar3 = mean(newvar1)”  
]  
julia\> dfOut = StataCall.stataCall(instructions, df)
