Tomas,

If you copy/paste those rows into the command window and
hit <enter>, the code will execute and the locals will persist
until you close down Stata.

hth,

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''" }
