In addition to other comments:
The flavour of this example appears to be that you won't need all the
matrices at once. If that is so, the question can be avoided by working
with one matrix at a time.

Although I know how to create basic Stata commands, I have no idea how
to
express some tasks what I am trying to do in technical terms (in
English).
Hence, I believe that showing one example will be the most
straightforward
manner to make myself clear.
I have just started to play with some Mata lines, and would like to know
if it is possible to add something that does the same role of `i' in
Stata
programming.
For example:
forvalues i = 1/100 {
matrix TEST_`i' = (`i',43,500)
}
will create 100 vectors/matrices: TEST_1..TEST_100
Taking the simple lines below, is it possible to create matrices TEST_1
to
TEST_100 too?

clear
set obs 100
gene MATA = round(uniform()*45)
gene RULES = round(uniform()*15)
mata
X = st_data(.,("MATA", "RULES"))
Y = st_data(.,("RULES", "MATA"))
for (i=1; i<=100; i++) {
TEST = X[i,1]\Y[i,1]\X[i,1]\Y[i,1]
}
end
