Is there a way to step through a do file other than highlighting a line in
the do file editor and running the selected lines?
I need to debug a set of do files. I need to find places where my code is
changing the data improperly - the files run ok, so -set trace on- does not
help the error trapping in this case.
I run repeated selections by highlighting them in the do file editor. If
previous lines created a -tempfile- or local macro, it no longer exists when
I run later set of lines. For instance, if I select lines 1-10 and run them,
and a -tempfile- is created in those lines, when I later try to run lines
further in the do file that use the -tempfile-, the -tempfile- no longer
exists.
It would be really nice to step through a do file and keep it active during
the process, so local macros and tempfiles continued to be available in the
later lines.
I am using Intercooled Stata 9.2; moving to 10 but haven't loaded it yet.
Running on Win XP.
