Could you set the maximum number of iterations for the ML code to 1.

I need to 1) take the coefficients obtained after first iteration of maximum likelihood (outer) algorithm, such as those reported by ml maximize, trace, 2) use them in my mata code to solve the dynamic programming problem inside mata, 3) take the results of that solution back to ml algorithm to obtain the estimates at the next iteration, and 4) continue this procedure until convergence.
