I tried global macros but it does not work either...
Thanks,
Ana
. do "/var/folders/Xn/Xnl4Mq-lGR4-mNII1zm-Wk+++TI/-Tmp-//SD17268.000000"
. global var "var1 var2"
.
end of do-file
. do "/var/folders/Xn/Xnl4Mq-lGR4-mNII1zm-Wk+++TI/-Tmp-//SD17268.000000"
. sum `var'
Variable | Obs Mean Std. Dev. Min Max

var1 | 24 12.5 7.071068 1 24
var2 | 24 36.5 7.071068 25 48
var3 | 24 61.5 7.071068 50 73

end of do-file

You can use global macros, instead of local macros. Global macros are
not erased when the execution of the do-file is finished.
global var "var1 var2"
sum $var

Dear statalist users,
I would like to run a do file in batches (i.e. a few lines at a time)
but it seems that then the local variables that I defined in the
beginning do not carry over ...
Any solution for this?
Here is some output for a simple example so that you can better
understand what is my issue.
Thanks!!
