How about not using a tempfile and -postfile- and -postclose- for each
iteration.
For example:
sysuse auto, clear
forv i = 29(-1)25 {
postfile hold integration_points b_cons b_price using results`i',
replace
disp "number of integration points " `i'
qui gllamm fore price , i(rep) nip(`i')
post hold (`i') (_b[_cons]) (_b[price])
postclose hold
}
Then you to use Roger Newson's -dsconcat- to append to individual files
together.
