Thank you Maarten,
Now anyone tell me what can be wrong with the complete script?
a) First I stored in the matrix "foo" the beta and standard coefficients of the following reg3 procedure, taking into consideration only the values where "AdverOrder is between 0 and 90:
quietly reg3 (LRev_1 LScreen_1 LFact LMBoardT Sequels ) (LScreen_1 LRev_1 LFact LMBoardT LPro ) if AdverOrder>0 & AdverOrder<=90
matrix foo = [LRev_1]_b[LFact], [LRev_1]_b[LFact]/[LRev_1]_se[LFact],[LScreen_1]_b[LFact], [LScreen_1]_b[LFact]/[LScreen_1]_se[LFact], [LRev_1]_b[LMBoardT], [LRev_1]_b[LMBoardT]/[LRev_1]_se[LMBoardT],[LScreen_1]_b[LMBoardT], [LScreen_1]_b[LMBoardT]/[LScreen_1]_se[LMBoardT]
b) Then I would like to do the same, running the procedure with a loop that beginst wih 4 and end in 94, run the reg3 procedure, get the beta coefficients and store them in the "foo" matrix. After that the loop should begin in observation 8 and end in observation 98, do the reg3 procedure and so on.
Unfortunately I got a system error saying "c ambiguous abreviation"
What can be wrong with this code?
local X 4 8 12
foreach c of local X {
local Ini= c
local Fin = c +90
reg3 (LRev_1 LScreen_1 LFact LMBoardT Sequels ) (LScreen_1 LRev_1 LFact LMBoardT LPro ) if AdverOrder>Ini & AdverOrder<=Fin
matrix foo = foo \ [LRev_1]_b[LFact], [LRev_1]_b[LFact]/[LRev_1]_se[LFact],[LScreen_1]_b[LFact], [LScreen_1]_b[LFact]/[LScreen_1]_se[LFact], [LRev_1]_b[LMBoardT], [LRev_1]_b[LMBoardT]/[LRev_1]_se[LMBoardT],[LScreen_1]_b[LMBoardT], [LScreen_1]_b[LMBoardT]/[LScreen_1]_se[LMBoardT]
}
matrix list foo

Notice that I am not using the coefficient of the *variable* consump,
but of the *variable* wagepriv in the *equation* consump. (this
corresponded most what you intended to do, as far as I understood your
question: the first variable in the first equation)
How you build a matrix is discussed in -help matrix define-. You can
stack a row underneath an existing matrix using \, as is shown in the
example below:
*---------------- begin example -----------------
webuse klein
reg3 (consump wagepriv wagegovt) ///
(wagepriv consump govt capital1) if year < 0
matrix foo = [consump]_b[wagepriv], ///
[consump]_b[wagepriv]/[consump]_se[wagepriv]
matrix list foo
reg3 (consump wagepriv wagegovt) ///
(wagepriv consump govt capital1) if year >= 0
matrix foo = foo \ ///
[consump]_b[wagepriv], ///
[consump]_b[wagepriv]/[consump]_se[wagepriv]
matrix list foo
*----------------- end example ------------------
(For more on how to use examples I sent to the Statalist, see

Hope this helps,
Maarten
