Subject | st: RE: how to use for* loops "noisily"? |

See the concurrent thread started by Aleksander Rutkowski. Nick n.j.cox@durham.ac.uk László Sándor Sorry I could not google this down (or find in the manual): I am trying to use some efficient code, much like the advice of Kit Baum's books and Stata tips, but if I use loops (-foreach- or -forvalues-) for everything (cases, specification, restrictions etc.), I rarely see anything going on, only estimation results are coded to get posted/displayed in this case [by Stata], and the occasional (= omnipresent) error message. I experimented with turning -set trace on-, but it did more harm than good. Some clumsy bracketing into -noisily- chunks did not help either. Is there something to do if I'd like to run this do-file as a regular do-file for all commands, in or out of loops? * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
