There was a similar Statalist question some time ago:

http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2003-10/msg00845.html

but that code did not save the significance. The code below does.

* this puts the pairwise correlations into a matrix  

clear
sysuse auto
 
* want correlations of mpg price and rep78
local varnum=3

* change variable names
* use preserve to get my dataset when finished

preserve

rename mpg var1
rename price var2
rename rep78 var3

 
 
* CREATE THE FOUR MATRICES THAT WILL CONTAIN THE RESULTS

matrix C = I(`varnum')
matrix N = I(`varnum')
matrix T= I(`varnum')
matrix P= I(`varnum')

forvalues i=1(1)`varnum' {
	forvalues j=1(1)`i'{ 
	capture  corr var`i' var`j'
* GET THE CORRELATION AND RESULTS, IF THERE HAS NOT BEEN ERROR 
	if _rc==0{
* RHO IS THE CORRELATION
	matrix C[`i',`j']=r(rho)
	matrix C[`j',`i']=r(rho)
* N IS THE NUBMER OF OBSERVATIONS
	matrix N[`i',`j']=r(N)
	matrix N[`j',`i']=r(N)
* P IS THE P-VALUES
	matrix P[`i',`j']=2*ttail(r(N)-2,/*
          */ abs(r(rho))*sqrt(r(N)-2)/sqrt(1-r(rho)^2))
 	matrix P[`j',`i']=P[`i',`j']
* T IS THE T-STATISTICS
	matrix T[`i',`j']= abs(r(rho))*sqrt(r(N)-2)/sqrt(1-r(rho)^2)
 	matrix T[`j',`i']=T[`i',`j']
	}
	else{
* IF 	-COR- HAD AN ERROR, PUT RESULTS TO MISSING
 	matrix C[`i',`j']=.
 	matrix C[`j',`i']=.
	matrix N[`i',`j']=.
	matrix N[`j',`i']=.
	matrix P[`i',`j']=.
	matrix P[`j',`i']=.
	matrix T[`i',`j']=.
	matrix T[`j',`i']=.
	}
* PUT APPROPRIATE VALUES ON THE DIAGONAL
	matrix C[`i',`i']=1
	matrix N[`i',`i']=r(N)
	matrix P[`i',`i']=.
	matrix T[`i',`i']=.
	}
}


*PRINT RESULTS
display as text "sample correlations" 
matrix list C, format(%6.4f) noheader
display as text "number of observations"
matrix list N,   noheader

display as text "t-statistics"
matrix list T,   noheader


display as text "p-values"
matrix list P,   noheader

* COMPARE RESULTS WITH PWCORR

pwcorr var1 var2 var3 , sig

* GET ORIGINAL DATA SET BACK
restore
