st: A problem regarding local macro

[Mayank Mishra <mayankm16@gmail.com>]

Hello all,

I am using variables defined outside a do file to be used inside the
code of do file. Following is the code:

foreach under in HDFCBANK ACC BHARTIARTL{
	cd "D:\dofiles"
	do option.do `under'
	cd "D:\dofiles"
	do stock.do `under'
	cd "D:/dofiles"
	do merge.do `under'
	local name = lower(`under')
	save `name'merged
	}

but the argument that is passed to do file is null.
What could be wrong in it ?

Thanks,

OM
