Subject: st: analogues of macros in Mata?
Suppose I form say a filename using some string operations, something
like
myfilename = prefix + "-" + suffix
and then want to save something along the lines of
mata matsave {myfilename} Matrix1 Matrix2 Matrix3
Is there any way to have Mata go into the contents of myfilename
object there, rather than create the file "myfilename.mmat" in the
current directory? Or may be explicit version
mata matsave prefix+"-"+suffix Matrix1 Matrix2 Matrix3
