This is not a good idea, as is discussed in the statalist FAQ point 5:

*--------------- begin example --------------------
forvalues n1 = 1/10 {
forvalues n2 = 1/10 {
forvalues p = .1(.1).9 {
di invFtail(`n1',`n2',`p')
}
}
}
*---------------- end example ---------------------
(For more on how to use examples I sent to the Statalist, see

Hope this helps,
Maarten
