In such cases, I either look at the error very closely and try to figure out
which command could possibly have caused it - most of the time that narrows
it down quite substantially. Or I let my template below record the entire
-trace- with -tracedepth- at infinity (grab a cup of tea in the meantime),
have it turned into a pdf and search it in the pdf reader for the offending
command...

Betreff: st: Tracing in Stata
<>
Hi,
Is there any way to figure what line in a for loop Stata is erroring on?
The best way I know of is to do -set tracedepth 1- and -set trace on-. This
works, BUT it's annoying because Stata traces down into function calls that
I don't care about. For example, assume there is an error somewhere in the
following (potentially very long) for loop:
forval x = 1/20 {
regress...
probit....
...
}
I just want to know which line in the for loop the error is without having
trace go down into the regress ADO code etc. This is not a problem outside
of the for loop because Stata goes line-by-line down do files by default.
All in all, a very minor issue, but one that frustrates me. Ideally there
would be a -set tracedepth 0- option which would address this.
