I am using -simulate- to run -myprogram-, and
would like -myprogram- to display some output
each time, for tracking purposes. The problem
is that -display- seems to only work the first
time through.
For example:
===============================================
capture program drop myprogram
program define myprogram, rclass
di in r "myprogram"
return scalar n = 1
end
quietly simulate n=r(n), reps(1000): myprogram
===============================================
produces the following output:
===============================================
. capture program drop myprogram
. program define myprogram, rclass
1. di in r "myprogram"
2. return scalar n = 1
3. end
.
. quietly simulate n=r(n), reps(1000): myprogram
myprogram
.
.
.
end of do-file
===============================================
Is this a bug? In my case, -myprogram- is nontrivial,
and seems to run into trouble about 1 out of 100 times.
I'm trying to debug it by displaying some process info.
Without it, I can't figure out which cases are causing
the problem, as -simulate- does not capture return values
when -myprogram- crashes.
I looked at simulate.ado, but it'll be easier to write my
own loop that to sort out what is going on there.
thoughts?
thanks,
Jeph
