Ang: Re: st: Words surrounded with single quotes in a local macro
Date

After having created locals temp and temp2 I display them.
The first local, temp, show the names I have excepted.
di "`tempo'"
tf1 tf2 tf3 tf4 tf5 tf6 tf7 tf8
However, Stata doesn´t return anything for temp2
di "`tempo2'"
When Stata executes the append-statement, I get an error message:
append using "`tempo2'"
file not found

You can help yourself debug this by showing us the value of `tempo2'
and explaining what "Do[es] NOT Work" means precisely.
