An elegant and efficient alternative would be to be able to pass the
values of the locals to the do file when running it, something like:
stata -b do dofile localvalue1 localvalue2 &
Of course, this cannot be done this way.
Sure it can. Include an -args- command in your do file.
Here is a simple example. This is xtest.do:
use "http://www.indiana.edu/~jslsoc/stata/spex_data/ordwarm2.dta";
args v1 v2
ologit warm `v1' `v2', nolog
To execute it:
. do c:\ado\personal\xtest yr89 male
. use "http://www.indiana.edu/~jslsoc/stata/spex_data/ordwarm2.dta";
(77 & 89 General Social Survey)
. args v1 v2
. ologit warm `v1' `v2', nolog
Ordered logistic regression Number of obs = 2293
LR chi2(2) = 129.53
Prob > chi2 = 0.0000
Log likelihood = -2931.0051 Pseudo R2 = 0.0216
