Re: st: calling do files

[SCHOUMAKER Bruno <bruno.schoumaker@uclouvain.be>]

Hello,

Have you tried defining local macros in separate do files, include the 
do files containing the macros in you main do file, and then  use the 
macros in the nlcom ?   I guess it should work (not sure though - and 
would be interested if someone has another solultion)

If your nonlinear combination has a simple strcture 
like _b1[/b1]+_b2[/b2]+...

you can also create it with a loop, ex.

local s1="s1 = _b1[/b1]+"
forval i=2 to 100 {
local s1 `s1' "_b" `i' "[/b" `i' "]+"
}

and then use `s1' (and `s2', `s3',...) in the nlcom (and the same for s2)

That would considerably shorten your do file.

Hope this helps


Bruno
