Hi Adrian
Perhaps use -do- instead of -include-, as you can specify arguments with the -do- command (see -help do-)

Subject: st: Using macros and batch running.
Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone can offer some advice?
I am trying to run some simulations, and splitting them up into pieces and
using the batch mode might make things a lot quicker, especially if i am
using a cluster.
I am trying to do.
forvalues i = 1/2 {
winexec "\\myserverstata11\StataMP.exe" -e include batch.do
}
Where batch.do contains
clear all
set obs 10000
gen id = _n
gen var1 = `i'
save batch`i'.dta , replace
i seem to have trouble transferring the local macros in one activation of
stata to another activation.
I was hoping someone would know a workaround for this problem.
Many thanks in advance
Adrian
