See Gould (2010), as below, and the corresponding commands in updated

introduces new official Stata commands putmata and getmata
for putting data from Stata to Mata and getting results back
to Stata
Standard spelling is Stata and Mata.

I'm working with a dataset of 180 observations. After a few
transformations
and handling using mata I construct 5 new variables of 168 observatios
each
one.
The five variables are packed in a matrix called result so result is a
168x5
matrix.
It would be very usefull to use in STATA instead of MATA the result
matrix
but I find no proper way to trasnfer the data from one workspace to the
other.
The st_addvar command seems to be the right choice but I find no way for
use
it. (Maybe an example in the manual should be a good idea for future
versions)
Besides, my next step is to construct 100 of new variables...and
st_addvar
seems to work just one by one ...
