st: Using Global Variables to Specify directories in dictionaries

I am trying to loop an infiling protocol through several datasets with
different names. I am using the following:
global dictionarypath="$root_path\$dataset_to_use.abc"
infile using "$root_path\Dictionary.dct", clear
The dictionary starts like this:
dictionary using "$dictionarypath" {
I get the following error:
file $dictionarypath.raw not found
dictionary invalid
I've played with including and not including the file extension, and
the directory seems correct. Any help would be appreciated.
