st: looping with tolerance level

Dear Stata Users,
I want to do a loop per observation with a tolerance level. In concrete, I
want to increase the payment (k) until I get a probability (prob) close to 0.5
program med, rclass
set trace on
forvalues j=1/33 {/* looping across observations*/
forvalues k=1/1 {/* looping across level of payment starting from 1*/
scalar prob`j'_`k'=(probability expression including `j' and `k')
scalar tolerance=abs(0.5-prob`j'_`k')
if tolerance<=0.001 {continue} else {k=`k'+1}
}
}
end
med
However, line 4 and 8 are causing me problems. I appreciate any advice.
Thank you,
Andres
