Do not store any files in "C:\ado" unless you have specifically set this
directory in your ado path. Move your file to the "C:\ado\personal"
directory if there is one. In other words, make sure your .ado file resides
in one of the directories that lie on your ado path. To view your ado path,
type
. ma dir S_ADO
S_ADO:
PERSONAL;UPDATES;BASE;SITE;.;STBPLUS;P:\ado\userwrit;P:\ado\tslib;P:\ado\z_a
bbrev;OLDPLACE
and the specific path to most of these directories is given by
. sysdir
STATA: C:\Stata\
UPDATES: C:\Stata\ado\updates\
BASE: C:\Stata\ado\base\
SITE: S:\ias\computing\software\stata\ado\site\
STBPLUS: P:\ado\stbplus\
PERSONAL: P:\ado\personal\
OLDPLACE: P:\ado\z_oldado\
Then type
which <your_command_name_here>
to see if Stata can locate your program. If it can't, an error message will
be returned.
