You can loop over names, if you really want to:


***********
foreach name in a b c d e f g{
	loc `name' 0
}

*let`s see
ma di _a _b _c _d _e _f _g
***********

Thanks for your reply. So, is there a way to declare them in one line that 
avoids this?

-local-s tend to vanish once the -program- stops anyway, but you can of
course -macro drop _all- should you so wish...

Stata thinks your -local- "a" contains the string "b c=0", btw:

***
loc a b c=0
di "`a'"

Hi,

I was wondering how you can declare more than one local var in one line.

I tried -loc a b c=0- and it returned no error. But -di `a'- returned
r(111). 
Also, is there a way to `drop' the locals after your program ends?

Thanks in advance.
