Sorry I am currently out of town, so I cannot follow every development as
closely as I would like to. Tomas must have an obsession with -local-s,
which are quite unnecessary for his -postfile- setup, as the example shows.
Unless, of course, he wants to use the values somewhere else. And, as Nick
said, -in r- is short for -in red-.
*************
tempname myfile
postfile `myfile' lowerbound time using postfiletest, replace
foreach i in 6 12 18 {
cii 1 `i', poisson
post `myfile' (`r(lb)') (`i')
}
postclose `myfile'
u postfiletest, replace
list , noobs

This works for me:
. tempname myfile
. postfile `myfile' time using postfiletest.dta , replace
(note: file postfiletest.dta not found)
. foreach i in 6 12 18 {
2. local time `i'
3. post `myfile' (`time')
4. }
. postclose `myfile'
. preserve
. use postfiletest, replace
. list , noobs
+------+
| time |
|------|
| 6 |
| 12 |
| 18 |
+------+
. restore

This works when I post the i (time-variable) so I suppose I am in the
vicinity of success (however I don´t understand why the full code doesn´t
work (error message r198 about the variable time).
clear
tempname resul
postfile `resul' time using H:\Slask\slask2.dta , replace
foreach i in 6 12 18 {
local time `i'
post `resul' (`time')
}
postclose `resul'
preserve
use H:\Slask\slask2.dta , replace
list , noobs
restore

I imagine that you need to look more carefully at the variable in question.

I get the following error message (note, the variable time in my example
corresponds to the variable fönster in my real syntax so the error message
is about the variable fönster)
