Yeas, the different placement of the -preserve- and -restore- works to.
Thank you Nick and all others for your input on this.

The -preserve- and -restore- look misplaced now that you draw attention to them.
levelsof atc , local(cat)
preserve
foreach k of local cat {
use "G:\ATC-dataset_`k'" , clear
rename (*) (`k'_*)
rename `k'_idnr idnr
save, replace
}
restore

However I now get another error message "already preserved".
