run ado file

[Huy Pham]

Hello,
Could some one tell me how we can run an ado file at command line?
Thanks in advance for your help!

[Nick Cox]

If you have foo.ado on your adopath defining program foo then typing

 
foo

invokes that program, except that such syntax will be insufficient to get a result if (as usually is true) other syntax is required. All documented in [U] chapters on programming.

If on the other hand you are asking about running an ado file from your operating system command line (rather than from the command window in Stata) see the Stata batch mode section of Appendix B of the Getting Started with Stata PDF manual appropriate to your operating environment. All of these manuals are included as PDFs in the Stata installation (since version 11) and are accessible from within Stata - for example, through Stata's Help menu.

William Lisowski. I am looking for running an ado file from an OS command line. Your answer is great! Thanks a lot!
