Short answer is No.
You need either globals or to map from one set of locals in one space to another set in another space.
The latter can be done but is best avoided until you understand this point.

Subject: st: locals have short memory
Hi all,
The syntax below works fine if I highlite all rows and click on run". Is
this what is called "a Stata session"? However, immediately after that,
Stata forgets the content of the local macros. Is it possible to make the
the local macros functioning until I close down Stata.
/Tomas
local mynames "Stockholm Uppsala Södermanland Kronoberg"
token `mynames'
local mycount: word count `mynames'
forv i=1/`mycount' {
local lannr = `i' + 21
di " "
di " "
di in r "``i''"
}
