st: exchangeability stata mata matrix and variable

[Abdel Rahmen El Lahga <rahmen.lahga@gmail.com>]

Hi,
In my function evaluator program used with nlsur command
I have many expression like this
 forvalues k = 1/20 {
     tempname b`k'
     scalar `b`k''=`at'[1,`k']
        }
tempvar y
     qui gen double `y' = `b1'*`x1' +  `b2'*`x2' + .....`b20'*`x3'
where b_i are my coeff and x_i are variables in my dataset
TO avoid writing this too long expression many time I would like that
variable y will be crated within mata
using expression like this
matrix B=`at'[1,1...20]
matrix X=(x1,....x20)
y=X*B' // within mata to avoid Stata matsize limit
and finally recuperate  the variable y within Stata
Any advice?
