Run this in a do-file:
**********
sysuse auto, clear
loc lastloc=trunk[_N]
gl lastgl=trunk[_N]
sca lastsca=trunk[_N]
**********
Then:
************
macro dir
sca dir
************
and see who made it out of the do-file and who did not :-)

Maybe the -local- dies with the do-file? Have you tried a -global-?

Subject: st: local macro trouble
Hi everyone,
Maybe I am getting tired so I am not able to see this. Maybe some one
else can see it.
I do this : -- >
egen twodayfallindex=sum(twoindex)
local dispdate = twodayfallindex[_N]
in a do file.
and after I run the do file if I say -macro dir- it does not show up
in the macros!!
How can that be ?
I don't know why I am unable to initialize this macro : ( !
Thank you,
Ashim.
