  • New version of dologx on SSC

    Thanks once again to Kit Baum, an updated version of the dologx package is now available for download from SSC. In Stata, use the ssc command to do this, or adoupdate if you already have an old version of dologx.

    The dologx package is described as below on my website. The new SSC version now has the module dolog13.ado, which runs do-files (producing logs) under Stata Version 13, and which was previously missing from the SSC version of dologx, although it was documented in the online help.

    .Best wishes

    Roger

    TITLE
    dologx: Multiple versions of dolog for executing certification scripts

    DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
    dologx (like dolog) causes Stata to execute the commands stored in a do-file
    named filename.do as if they were entered from the keyboard, and echos the
    commands as it executes them, creating a log file filename.log. The dologx
    package contains multiple versions of dolog, written in multiple Stata
    versions, intended for use when running certification scripts. Usually, a
    do-file should contain a version statement at or near the top, so it will
    still run in the Stata version in which it was written, even if the user runs
    it under a later version of Stata. Certification scripts are an exception to
    this rule, because they are run under multiple Stata versions, to certify
    that the package being tested works under all of these versions. A
    certification script therefore should not contain a version statement at the
    top. The version of Stata under which it run will therefore be the version in
    force in the program that calls it, even if that program is dolog. The
    standard version of dolog should therefore not be used to run a certification
    script, and the user should use the dologx package instead, using dolog6 to
    run it under Stata 6, dolog7 to run it under Stata 7, and so on.
