What is SAS? Or more seriously, I don't know SAS,
so I am guessing.
do seems to map to -forvalues-. There is a tutorial
on -forvalues- -- for which you need to know the
rudiments of local macros -- at
http://www.stata.com/support/meeting/8uk/fortitude.pdf
EQ presumably is a test for equality so that is ==.
The main pitfall to be aware is the difference in Stata
between the -if- command and the -if- qualifier.
