Running this code:
local Nkomb 8
forvalues i = 1/`Nkomb' {
local tempo `tempo' tf`i'
local kemp2 `kemp2' `"`tf`i''"'
}
*
di "`tempo'"
di "`kemp2'"
Stata responds this after the two display-commands above:
di "`tempo'"
tf1 tf2 tf3 tf4 tf5 tf6 tf7 tf8 Okey
di "`kemp2'" No output
I´ve try to read the manual about double quotes but there they
just enclose " within `" '"

Check on
temp2
versus
tempo2
You may be using different names in different parts of your code. In
both of your posts you have mentioned them as if they were the same.
Quite different issue: Local macros are only visible within the same
"locale", i.e. the same interactive session, program, do-file,
(highlighted) do-file editor contents.
