st: forvalues gives "numlist has too many elements" error

[Pablo Mitnik <pmitnik@ssc.wisc.edu>]

Dear all,

The code below worked fine, until I tried it with `1'==10000 (`1' refers 
to the number of repetitions in a simulation).
When I did this, I received the following error message:

"invalid numlist has too many elements
r(123);"

The help info on r(123) didn't help me -- it refers you to [U] 11.1.8 
numlist, but I didn't find anything
useful for my problem there.

Any thoughts? Is there a workaround this issue?

Pablo

foreach posed in o2 o3 o4 b2 b3 b4 {

   forvalues rep = 1/`1' {
  
   if (`rep'==1) {
       mat MR`posed'=(mr`posed'_`rep')
       }
  
   else {
       mat MR`posed'=(MR`posed' \ mr`posed'_`rep')
       }
     
   }
}
