That is a working solution. However what happens is that the makename
macro would be defined incorrectly,
. local makename "AMC Concord" "AMC Pacer" "Buick LeSabre" "Cad. Deville"
. di `"`makename'"'
AMC Concord" "AMC Pacer" "Buick LeSabre" "Cad. Deville
and you are fixing it at the point-of-use. This means that if the
macro is used at several points, you will need to be careful at each
of them. Fixing at at point-of-declare involves same amount of effort,
but then allows working carelessly later on.
Best, Sergiy
