Communication is easier if you follow Stata's
terminology. By "global variable" I guess you
mean "global macro".
If you want to save global macro contents with
datasets I believe that you must do it indirectly.
You mention .do files. A variant on that is to
add global definitions to your profile.do file,
or to have a file
-------------------------- myglobal.do
global foobar "foobar"
global buzz "fuzz"
global answer = 42
-------------------------
and then to have within -profile.do-
a command
do myglobal
Alternatively, save a global as a characteristic (good),
or in a variable (poor style, but may be practical).
