st: Load data using macro

["G. Anderson" <ga274@cam.ac.uk>]

Hi,

I am able to save files using the name of a variable in a macro (in this 
case my dependent variable
So when I type

save `depvar', replace

it saves a file with the name of the dependent variable as my filename.

Unfortunately when loading data

use `depvar' 

doesn't work. Any ideas how you can load data using names defined by macros?


Thanks

Gareth
