Re: st: Fwd: Retrieving macros defined inside for loop

[Nick Cox <njcoxstata@gmail.com>]

What the difficulty is here is not clear. In your case, macros defined
within the loop that are not the loop index should remain visible.  I
suspect a different problem, trying to access them in a different
locale.

. forval j = 1/6 {
  2. local c_`j'  `j'
  3. }

. mac li
