Diagnostics

Syntax error: else on same line as closing brace

Undefined local macro

Stata would evaluate `froot' to "" because of the misspelling. In this example, it affects the displayed text. When combined with if-then-else statements, this leads to unexpected control flow.

Missing indentation

Note: Indentation diagnostics are disabled by default. See Configuration > Diagnostics to enable them.
