Martin is too young, or too new to Stata, to remember the old -for-, but
it never had this syntax, or anything very much like it. The old -for-
in Stata was only like itself, and not like that in any other modern
language.

This -for- loop you are using used to be popular, as I understand from
old 
SJ articles, but has since been superseded by -foreach- and -
forvalues-. 
See http://www.stata-journal.com/sjpdf.html?articlenum=pr0005

It lives on in -mata-, though, but you employ the old -matrix-
language...
