This behavior is intentional, though: The step size for this particular
syntax is the difference between the first and the second argument, i.e.
31.6-31.3=0.3, so it cannot hit the 38 exactly and stops short of it. To get
an exact hit, increase the upper bound to 38.2...

forval x = 31.3 31.6 : 38.2 {

True, especially because the issue that bit me bit Stata: see the
output misses 38! See below.
Thanks Nick and Martin.
