Try - foreach x of varlist $indvar { -
This seems to work:
sysuse auto, clear
global indvar mpg-trunk turn -fore
foreach x of varlist $indvar {
global pbetas $pbetas `x'1
}
macro list pbetas
. sysuse auto, clear
(1978 Automobile Data)
. global indvar mpg-trunk turn -fore
. foreach x of varlist $indvar {
2. global pbetas $pbetas `x'1
3. }
. macro list pbetas
pbetas: mpg1 rep781 headroom1 trunk1 turn1 displacement1 gear_ratio1
