Seems to work for me:
*************
sysuse auto, clear
macro drop _all
global test }
forv i=1/2{
di in r "${test}"
}
*************

Betreff: st: use of brace inside of macro
I am curious whether a brace can be used inside of a macro.
For example:
sysuse auto, clear
macro drop _all
global test }
log using test, replace
forvalues j = 1/1 {
macro list _all
}
forvalues x = 1/1 {
macro list _all
${test}
end
break
...
causes Stata to provide r(1) error.
I've tried the macro with and without quotes "" around the brace.
Is this illegal? If not what is the problem?
Thanks.
Bill
