you can use -st_view- and write a single observation to the current entry:
set obs 1000
gen results = .
mata:
st_view(results=.,.,"results")
for(i=1;i<=1000;i++) {
// simulation
results[i] = whatever
}
Or you can return the results to Stata using -st_numscalar()- and
-post- them. Or there might be some two or three other ways to go.
