Re: st: auto macro for name of do file?

[Paul Burkander <paul@burkander.com>]

Sorry, I must have missed that in your previous email.

I'm working with a team on a large data cleaning project.  Right now
I'm writing an ado file that uses stata's merge command, but produces
a series of reports with each merge.  I wanted the name of the reports
to use the name of the do file.  There are many people working on the
project, with varying experience with Stata, so I'm trying to make
this process as user friendly as possible.

If my above description is not in full, it's because I'm under time
constraints.  I'll try to be more specific in the future.

Thanks for your help.
Paul
