Re: st: local vs. scalar

Dear Raphael

  I think you will find the best information in [P] scalar (in Stata 
11, see -help scalar- and then click on [P] scalar). It discusses with 
great clarity the difference between local macros and scalar variable. I 
would also recommend Stata tip 31 at

I hope that is useful.
