Thanks as always to Kit Baum, an updated version of -usesome- is now
available from the SSC.
The old version failed to load even a single variable if the list of
variable names in the dataset to be loaded was too long for a local
macro and issued the error message "too many variables specified"
r(103). This is because the code relied on -describe using- to obtain
a list of variable names.
The updated version fixes this problem and additionally
- supports standard abbreviations for variable names
- supports any type of numlist (bug fix)
- supports -if- (new option)
- returns some 'results'
Best
Daniel
