If you write:
program define myprog
version 7
syntax [varlist]
Stata validates the list of the variable names passed by the user and
complains if a variable does not exist e.g.
. myprog unknownvar
variable unknownvar not found
r(111);
However, the insheet internal command apparently allows the user to enter a
list of names for non-existing variables without a problem. Is it possible
to do the same thing from an ado command? And how?
