Try this:
************* test ***************
cap program drop test
program define test, rclass
version 11
local rlist
forv i=1/50 {
local text "text`i'"
local rlist `rlist' `text'
}
di "`rlist'"
return local test `"`rlist'"'
end
test
di "`r(test)'"

To every ω-consistent recursive class κ of formulae there correspond
recursive class signs r, such that neither v Gen r nor Neg(v Gen r)
belongs to Flg(κ) (where v is the free variable of r).
