I don't think it's good strategy to put all the onus on Stata
of catching errors.
In this case a Statalist answer to one of your recent questions
can be used to identify a solution.
foreach v of varlist _all {
tab `v'
histogram `v', ...
quantile v'. ...
}
could be done better like this
ds, has(type numeric)
foreach v of var `r(varlist)' {
...
}
Also, don't do
local filename = "..."
do
local filename "..."
This was aired on Statalist very recently
