st: Creating object names in Mata through looping

[Pedro Nakashima <nakashimapedrolist@gmail.com>]

Dear Stata users

I'm looking for a way to create object names in Mata through looping.

For example:

capture program drop progby1
program progby1, byable(recall,noheader)
local inicio = _byn1()
local fim   = _byn2()
local rodada = _byindex()
local in "`inicio'/`fim'"
display "`in'"
mata: funcao2(`inicio',`fim',`rodada')
end

mata
void funcao2(real scalar inicio,real scalar fim,real scalar byi)
{
d=st_data((inicio::fim),("var1","var2"))
d
}
end

I would like that the matrix d of the function funcao2 had varying
names, depending on the value of argument byi

Does anyone know a solution to this problem?

Thank you..
