Richard,
Many thanks for your suggestion. I tried using globals, but again it didn't
seem to work. I'm attaching part of the code I'm using (it'll hopefully be
'readable'). The strange thing is that I'm just having problems with the
outreg line of the program (STATA doesn't recognise the loop `var' in the
name of the out file...).
Thanks again for help and ideas!
Andrea

Dear all,
I am trying to build a program to estimate the same procedure but with
seven (slightly) different sets of data. For this, I'm using the
forvalues
loop with seven locals, but this stops if there is a program (which also
uses those seven sets of data) inside the loop.
I tried putting the programs outside the loop, and 'call' it inside the
loop, but in that case the program does not recognise the locals of the
loop.
Does anyone have any suggestions for solving this problem?
It would help to see some of your code, but one possibility might be to
use
global variables instead of local variables.
