works beautifully. Thanks.

You can easily include the mata code into a do file, convert the mata matrix to Stata and use it as an argument of -drawnorm-

local n 1000
local rho 0.9
local dim 10
mata: rho = `rho'
mata: dim = `dim'
mata: Lambda = I(dim)
mata: Lambda =  rho:^abs(J(1,dim,(1::dim))-J(dim,1,(1..dim)))
mata: st_matrix("Lambda", Lambda)
local xs
forvalues i=1/`dim' {
        local xs "`xs' x`i'"
}
clear
set obs `n'
drawnorm `xs', corr(Lambda) n(`n')
corr x*
sum x*

I can do it in a foreach loop (although i've been messing it up so far).  This is for a simulation and the dimension of the correlation is 50 or 100 so i don't want to do it manually.
