Or, amending your original code:
********************************
program define apx
local i = 1
use timc`i', clear
while `i'<=10 {
append using timc`i'
local i = `i' + 1
}
end
apx
********************************
Note that the original code uses a new dataset each time it repeats the
loop.

Try the following...
use timc1, clear
forvalues i=2/10 {
append using timc`i'
}

Subject: st: append multiple data sets
I'm trying to append multiple datasets, but "append using" only adds two
datasets at a time. I tried the following program to append "timc1.dta",
"timc2.dta", "timc3.dta"... in one step, but it only appends two datasets.
********************************
program define apx
local i = 1
while `i'<=10 {
use timc`i', clear
append using timc`i'
local i = `i' + 1
}
end
apx
********************************
I'll appreciate any suggestions on how to accomplish this task.
