There is a difference. It depends what you want
to do.
On a different level, -for- is going to
work well provided that you can recall the
syntax and so long as it is supported by
Stata.
Looking ahead the real tradeoff is, as so often,
between a canned solution using something like
-rensfix- or -renvars-, or doing it from first
principles with -foreach-.
