Re: st: FW: Why does this simple code only work some of the time?

[Nick Cox <njcoxstata@gmail.com>]

This may be a side-effect of using an accented character in the
variable name. I agree that you would want that to have no effect, but
it's the only detail you are giving that sounds in any sense unusual.

Try

set trace on
set tracedepth 1

before running this command and

set trace off

to tell us where the error occurs.
