Why?

It can be done, but I can't think of a good reason for doing it. N.B.
some loss of precision.

sysuse auto
regress mpg length turn weight
mat b = e(b)
forval i = 1/`=colsof(b)' {
      local B `B'  `=b[1,`i']'
}

I am trying to have a local that captures the content of e(b). On this list
I found solutions for a single element but it does not work for the entire
matrix.

I am looking for something like:

mat A = e(b)

local c = A
