Micha,

As a global macro, -counter- must be referenced by $counter not by 'counter'. Also, don't initialize counter with "0" but rather with =0. I think the correct syntax is in my previous post.

Dear Joe,

again your reply was most welcomed. I tried the following code

global counter "0"
capture program drop rollingwindow
program rollingwindow

global counter=`counter'+1
global tflist ""


foreach var of varlist *SA{
reg Mid `var'
tempfile tfcur
parmest, idstr("`var'") saving(`"`tfcur'"', replace) flis(tflist)
}
preserve
clear
append using $tflist
sencode idstr, gene(xvar)
lab var xvar "X-variable"
keybygen xvar, gene(parmseq)
drop if parmseq==2
egen rank = rank (-t)
drop if rank>30
save `counter', replace
restore
end


rolling, window(4) stepsize (4) recursive: rollingwindow

but I get the following error

    - save `counter', replace
    = save , replace
invalid file specification

when enabling trace.

This confuses me as I tried something very similar and it worked.

Do you or anyone else have any idea what could cause this error?

Best regards
Micha
