This works as long as I don't insert line returns ( /* */ ) but I can
live with that.
Thank you very much!

A similar problem came up only yesterday. You need to use compound
double quotes in defining your macro.

Seems that stata 10 is having a problem reading the first element of my
local with embedded spaces:
. local PrivIssuer "Finance vehicle-Priv sector
bank/finance" "Finance vehicle-Priv sector indust/util" /*
> */ "Private Other" "Private sector bank"
"Private sector finance" "Private sector industrial" /*
> */ "Private sector utility"
. foreach type of local PrivIssuer {
2. display "`type'"
3. replace issuertype2 = 1 if issuertype ==
`"`type'"'
4. }
