Nick and Ernest,
thank you very much both for your useful suggestions for my modest loop file. Both your solutions are working perfectly allright

Sorry, I missed out a line of code
in matching your code and mine
on an analogue of this problem.
gen AIC = .
gen BIC = .
forvalues x = 1/6 {
regress D.netpremmean L.netpremmean L`x'D.netpremmean
estimates store whatever
qui estimates stats
matrix M = r(S)
qui replace AIC = M[1,5] in `x'
qui replace BIC = M[1,6] in `x'
}
It may well be possible to telescope this a bit.
It could be made work more generally.
But what data structure do you envisage for the outputs?
