st: How do you save the "convergence not achieved" result after -tssmooth hwinters-

[Oliver Jones <ojones@wiwi.uni-bielefeld.de>]

Dear Statalisters,
I have a dataset containing roughly one thousand time series.
On each of them I run -tssmooth hw- with the maximize_option iterate(30).
Scanning through the log file shows that there are several time series
for which the maximization process didn't converge.
Now I want to rerun the smoothing but this time I want to save (maybe in
a matrix?) if convergence was not achieved.

Looking up the manual entry for -maximize- shows that usually the result
is stored in the scalar e(converged). But it seems like this is nor the
case for -tssmooth hw- since -ereturn list- doesn't give an results.

One idea I have is to store the "optimal" parameters because I guess that
values equal to 0 or 1 indicate that convergence was not achieved.
But still there might be cases where the "optimal" parameters are inside
the open interval (0,1) and convergence is not not achieved, or am I
wrong in this assumption?

Kind regards
Oliver Jones
