I think the example below may do the job Tiago wants to do, though
others may have a better solution for Tiago.
** Begin example ****
* Create 10 scalars
forv i=1/10 {
scalar myscal`i'=`i'+3
di "scalar =", myscal`i'
}
* Or if you will
scalar list
* Now let's sum them
local i=1
scalar mysum=0
while `i'<=10 {
scalar mysum= mysum + myscal`i'
local i=`i'+1
}
di mysum
** End example *****
Hope this helps
