Thank you very much for these precisions.
"profile.do should be placed in an -adopath- folder; to me, the logical
place is the PERSONAL folder; in Windows
typically c:\ado\personal." (by the way, how do you put a blue line at the
left of any text that is referenced?)
This is a great idea, but it does not work for me. I don't know what I am
doing wrong.
This is my set-up with Profile.do in the main Stata folder (c: program
files\Stata9) :
. pwd
D:\COURANT\INFORMATIQUE & STAT\STAT - ÉCONOMÉTRIE\STATA\Working
. adopath
[1] (UPDATES) "C:\Program Files\Stata9\ado\updates/"
[2] (BASE) "C:\Program Files\Stata9\ado\base/"
[3] (SITE) "C:\Program Files\Stata9\ado\site/"
[4] "."
[5] (PERSONAL) "D:\COURANT\INFORMATIQUE & STAT\STAT -
ÉCONOMÉTRIE\STATA\Ado\Personal/"
[6] (PLUS) "D:\COURANT\INFORMATIQUE & STAT\STAT -
ÉCONOMÉTRIE\STATA\Ado\Plus/"
[7] (OLDPLACE) "c:\ado/"
[8] "D:\COURANT\INFORMATIQUE & STAT\STAT -
ÉCONOMÉTRIE\STATA\Working"
Profile.do is not used by Stata at start-up when Profile.do is placed under
"D:\COURANT\INFORMATIQUE & STAT\STAT - ÉCONOMÉTRIE\STATA\Ado\Personal/" :
. pwd
C:\Documents and Settings\admin2\Bureau
. adopath
[1] (UPDATES) "C:\Program Files\Stata9\ado\updates/"
[2] (BASE) "C:\Program Files\Stata9\ado\base/"
[3] (SITE) "C:\Program Files\Stata9\ado\site/"
[4] "."
[5] (PERSONAL) "c:\ado\personal/"
[6] (PLUS) "c:\ado\plus/"
[7] (OLDPLACE) "c:\ado/"
"Nice precision, I miss that point ! And that could be useful to have a
profile.do independent of the working directory. And I use this occasion to
thanks you for the very useful books you have wrote."
May I have the references of these books?
