Hello!

I am working on a do file alongside a colleague but its commands will not load successfully and it generates an r(601) error. The code stops at the point where I instruct which file to load and it says

'file /some_data.dta' not found

However, when I type

use 'file/some_data.dta'

into the command box, it loads fine. This tells me it must be something wrong with the code in the do file itself and not the filepath I am using because it loads that loads into Stata fine. I am a MacOS user working with Stata15. Because my colleagues work on Windows, I needed to change the filenames (done to my understanding below).

Here is the code I am working with:

----------------------------------------

gl filepath =‎⁨"/Users/josephkalarickal/Desktop/Google Drive/Research Assistant/Work for the Professor/Work Projects/Ongoing Projects/SkillsCountry/"
gl data ="$filepath/data"
gl dofiles ="$filepath/dofiles"
gl tempfiles ="$filepath/tempfiles"
gl results ="$filepath/results"
gl logfiles ="$filepath/logfiles"

use "$filepath/some_data.dta", clear *this is where the code breaks for some reason.

----------------------------------------

Thank you in advance for the help.

Joseph
