The global variables below are the only program-saved variables that can be used by other programs. However, you can capture the coefficient vector of the discriminant functions with only a little programming.
Using logistic regression would make your situation much easier; moreover, you need not then worry about the assumptions upon which discriminant analysis is based being violated.

Dear Statalist,
I have been using Dr. Hilbe's -discrim- command and
would like to be able to save or output the function
coefficients into another file. However, I do not
think that -discrim- leaves the coefficient matrix
behind. I would like to bootstrap my analysis. Is
there any other way to do this in Stata?
Thank you in advance,
Ricardo.
