I think your problem is that your first reference to $N appears to Stata
to be a reference to $Nvs -- which probably doesn't exist, but Stata
does not care.
If you have to do this -- and I am not yet convinced that you do, but no
matter -- all you need to do is assign your global to a local just once.
global N = 1 /*here is my global*/
local N "$N"
local Var`N'vs`N' "(g`N'vs`N' : -("
local one "x + y))"
local Var`N'vs`N' "`Var`N'vs`N'' `one'"
di "Var`N'vs`N' is `Var`N'vs`N'' "

Subject: st: Local with Global macro lists
Hi,
I have a problem with macros.
I'm using global macro in some local ones and what I want to obtain
don't work...if someone has an idea.
Example without global macro (which works) :
local Var1vs1 "(g1vs1 : -("
local one "x + y))"
local Var1vs1 "`Var1vs1' `one'"
di "Var1vs1 is `Var1vs1' " /*it works, I have : Var1vs1 is (g1vs1 :
-( x + y)) */
Example with global macro (doesn't work) :
global N = 1 /*here is my global*/
local Var$Nvs$N "(g${N}vs${N} : -("
local one "x + y))"
local Var${N}vs${N} "`Var${N}vs${N}' `one'"
di "Var${N}vs${N} is `Var${N}vs${N}' " /*Problem I have:Var1vs1 is
x + y)) */
I try to use this sort of program in order to use the nlcom command with
a lot of elements...
