This is the best I can do:
*---------------- begin example -------------------
capture program drop lnsim
program define lnsim, rclass
version 10
syntax [, obs(integer 1) mu(real 0) sigma(real 1) ]
drop _all
set obs `obs'
tempvar z
gen `z' = exp(`mu' + `sigma'*invnormal(uniform()))
summarize `z'
return scalar mean = r(mean)
return scalar Var = r(Var)
di _n as txt "simulation " as result scalar(i) _n
scalar i = scalar(i) + 1
end
scalar i = 1
simulate mean=r(mean) var=r(Var), reps(100) noi: lnsim, obs(100)
*---------------------------- end example ----------------------
