This thread was resolved otherwise, but I just want
to comment on one detail.
Brent's code pivoted on looping over dataset
names using
local rownames1 = "`rownames1' `u'_replication_number_`i'.dta"
As Kit pointed out, this will be problematic given the stops
(periods) but it is also fragile because evaluating (using =) rather
than copying (not using =) means that the limits on length
of string expressions will bite. Don't evaluate unless you must.
