No. You should pass the value of the global (macro, not variable)
directly from one instance of Stata to another.

However, if I define a Stata global variable $xyz within the Stata GUI, but then I run my file mystatacode.do using a cmd shell like - wmpstata.exe /e do mystatacode.do - then the code does not recognize the global variable. Is there any way to make the wmpstata.exe file recognize the global variables defined in another instance of Stata, particularly the Stata GUI?
