If you're on Unix/Linux or use Cygwin or the equivalent you can include
a distinctive header in each file that includes the name of the file and
use -egrep- and -tail- to locate the name of the last do file that began
executing. So, your header might be
// program: fritz.do -- compute the fritz statistic
and you would run
!egrep '// program: ' master.log | tail -1
which would identify the failed file. It wouldn't be too difficult to
write a Stata program to do the same thing using -file read-.

I run one master do file that runs ~100 other do-files. When I get an
error message I need to know in what do-file the error occured. Is
there an easy way in Stata to find out what the last do-file was
without having to scroll through the output?
Thanks
