Thanks for your reply. So, is there a way to declare them in one line that
avoids this?

-local-s tend to vanish once the -program- stops anyway, but you can of
course -macro drop _all- should you so wish...
Stata thinks your -local- "a" contains the string "b c=0", btw:
***
loc a b c=0
di "`a'"

Hi,
I was wondering how you can declare more than one local var in one line.
I tried -loc a b c=0- and it returned no error. But -di `a'- returned r(111).
Also, is there a way to `drop' the locals after your program ends?
Thanks in advance.
