Hello Marco,
I am not sure if batch mode is really necessary here. Why don't you
loop the data files from within Stata in one do file, and then run
your processing do file. See help for foreach.
help foreach
-xml_tab- may be a useful command if you want to accumulate the
estimationg results from multiple estimations.
findit xml_tab
So the loop might look like this
foreach file in this.dta that.dta theother.dta {
** open file
use "`file'"
** prepare variables, filter observations, run probit, etc
do my-processing-do-file.do
** collect the results
xmltab whatever_parameters
}
see also two other similar commands -outreg2- and -tabout-:
findit outreg2
findit tabout
Best regards, Sergiy
