Have you had a look at -tempfile-? Also note that you can start a second, third... instance of Stata...

> Betreff: st: do-file on dataset not currently used by Stata
> Dear statalist,
>
> Is it possible to execute a do-file or several commands on another
> dataset than Stata is currently using?
>
> I came across this problem when working with two datasets (auxiliary
> and main), where the auxiliary serves to create variables at several
> levels of aggregation and then transfers the variables into separate
> files, that are subsequently matched on a one-to-many basis with the
> main dataset. Instead of running the auxiliary and its resulting
> datasets in several windows and then switching to the main dataset for
> the merge commands, it would be very nice if the auxiliary dataset
> commands could be controlloed from the main dataset window, as a sort
> of "meta"-Stata. This is no problem in SAS, but I could not figure out
> if this can also be done in Stata?
>
> Many thanks for your suggestions,
