Fellow Listers,
I would appreciate any suggestions and comments on a workaround for
the following problem. I am trying to constrain what appears in the
results window to just the printf statements the mata portion of my
stata program produces and have used the quietly command in a do file
that is repeatedly called by another do file to suppress the remainder
of the program. Yet I cannot figure out how to hide the actual mata
code that writes the output I need to see. For example, here is what
I see for a given call to this do program, which as the first comment
mentions I need to do within a loop or else my table is interspersed
with the lines used to write it:
quietly {
.
. mata:
------------------------------------------------- mata (type end to
exit) ---------------------
:
: //Used one pass loop to clean up output
: for (mh=1; mh<=1;mh++) {
>
> printf("Results for Event Period beginning with trading day %4.0f and ending at day %
> 4.0f\n",
> strtoreal(st_local("EventBeginDay")), strtoreal(st_local("EventEndDay")))
> printf("Average Firm Adjusted R Square %12.4f\n",FirmModelResults[1,colFirm])
> printf("\n")
> printf("{txt}Average Firm Model{c |} Coef SampSE t-stat\n")
> printf("{hline 18}{c +}{hline 47}\n")
