Re:st: break when using mata within a loop

Hi Carlos,

maybe you can do the loop in the mata language (and so open only one 
time Mata)...The code following works well. I don't know if it helps you.

mata :

for (contvar=1; contvar<=3; contvar++) {
 a=`contvar'
 a
printf("i=%g\n", contvar)
}

end

Hello everyone. Thanks in advance for your help. I am trying to use mata 
within a forvalues loop. However Stata stops the execution of the code 
when arriving to the "mata:" line. Could you please tell me how to 
overcome this problem? This is the Stata output:

.. forvalues contvar = 1(1)3 {
2. mata:
3. a=1
4. a
5. end
--Break--
r(1);

end of do-file
--Break--
r(1);

Thanks again for your help.
