Why not use -estout- (from ssc) and skip writing the weird "eclass" program that isn't storing any actual results? Or, use -outreg- after fitting your models? Either way writing this extra program which doesn't estimate anything and only contains coefficients from somewhere else is extraneous.
HTH,
Billy
