I'm splitting this and giving names to the different
questions.

Philippe Van Kerm's poverty.ado creates global macros with names
like S_1, etc.
. mac li
shows them all and a command like
. di $S_1
shows individual global macros.
Perhaps you're referring to somebody else's poverty.ado.
If so, the first command should also work. The second
command will require the correct name.
N.B. in Stata terminology, "macro" is not a synonym for
"program".
