I've deleted all the previous posts regarding this, so I don't know what
you are doing or why, but the following works:


sysuse auto, clear

levelsof for, local(levs)


foreach level of local levs{
 loc xt `xt' `level' "`:label(foreign) `level''"
}

di `"`xt'"'

Subject: st: pass quotes in a local macro

I get an error msg running your code-seems to be missing a double
quote in the beginning of the string-and I still dont get how to pass
the double quotes.

. sysuse auto, clear
(1978 Automobile Data)

. levelsof for, local(levs)
0 1

. foreach level of local levs{
  2. loc xt `xt' `level' /* */  "`:label(foreign) `level''"
  3. }

. di "`xt'"
0 Domestic" 1 "Foreign"" invalid name
r(198);

end of do-file
