A simple but tedious strategy would be to put a line like this
-di "Beginning filename.do"-
at the start of each do-file.
If you run the master file, it will stop at the first error and you can
backtrack to the most recent "Beginning" statement.
I cope with large projects by using "make", a utility which comes with
Unix systems. Alternatively, you could use a script file (something.bat
in Windows, a shell-script file in Unix-like systems). This involves
using Stata in batch mode. However, since Stata batch jobs tell the
operating system they have completed successfully even if there has been
a Stata error, these script files will continue regardless even when
an error occurs in an earlier do-file. I wrap the call to Stata in a
script file which searches the log file for errors. I describe the
system in more detail at
