Thanks for all your replies. I have tried several solutions,
including using local variables, but nothing has worked. The relevant
lines of my ado file are as follows:
1:arg {other vars} abc
2: tempname beta BigMat
3 scalar `beta'=exp(`abc')
4 matrix input `BigMat'=(1,`scalar(beta)'\`scalar(beta)',`scalar(beta)')
. . .
I took the wrong trace message. The relevant one is:
"= matrix __00001A=(1,,\ ,,)
so it's obviously not recognizing `scalar(beta').

Try scalar(`beta') instead of `scalar(beta').
