st: RE: testing syntax on no observations
You can test on less observations:
preserve
keep in 1/10
do test.do
restore

Subject: st: testing syntax on no observations
Is there a way to run do files (or ado files) on no observations to
test that there are no typographical errors that would cause the
program to stop?
People familiar with SAS will recognize this as analogous to being
able to set OPTION OBS = 0 at the beginning of a file to test the
syntax. The program will note that there are no observations, but
only actually report errors that would cause a submission with data
to fail (e.g; mis-named macros, loops that aren't closed etc.)
Thanks for any and all suggestions
Evan Roberts
