If your file is organized LITERALLY like you said, you could try
forvalues k=1/200 {
estimation `k'
if _rc continue, break
}
Otherwise you would have to learn return codes, -capture- and error handling.
It seems to me that running 200 estimations would only make sense in
simulations, for which Stata has its own tools (see -simulate-).
