Is there a way to store a longer string expression ?The trick is to avoid evaluation of the local, which means that you need to leave out the equal sign. For example I would write the line local TFRj`i'="TotFR`i'=(" + "`TFR'" + "`mult`i''" + ") " as local TFRj`i' "TotFR`i'=( `TFR' `mult`i'' )" Hope this helps, Maarten -------------------------- Maarten L.
