Hello,

I was wondering if there is a way to automatically close the log file when
there is a dofile error of some sort. I always forget to type -log close-
and then I get an error when I run my corrected dofile when it gets to
the -log using...- section.

I realize this is a trivial problem, but I am rather absent-minded, and
this causes me and my colleagues a lot of frustration.
You might like to use the -dolog- package, downloadable from SSC. (Type -ssc describe dolog- to find out more.)

If you install -dolog- and have a do-file -myprog.do-, with no -log using- or -log close- statements, then you can simply type

dolog myprog

and Stata will run -myprog.do-, creating a file -myprog.log-.

I hope this helps.

Roger
