st: absolute values of matrix elements [stata 8]

["R.E. De Hoyos" <redeho@hotmail.com>]

Statalist,

I am trying to transform a matrix A into matrix B where B's elements are the 
abolute values of A's.

B[i,j] =  | A[i,j] |

I found Nick's -matodd- but it seems not to have an -abs- elementwise 
option. No

Many thanks,

Rafa
