I don't think it's good strategy to put all the onus on Stata
of  catching errors. 

In this case a Statalist answer to one of your recent questions
can be used to identify a solution. 

foreach v of varlist _all {
	tab `v'
	histogram `v', ...  
	quantile v'. ... 
} 

could be done better like this 

ds, has(type numeric) 
foreach v of var `r(varlist)' { 
	...
} 

Also, don't do 

local filename = "..." 

do 

local filename "..." 

This was aired on Statalist very recently
