st: log file recording within loops

[Jan Stuhler <janstuhler@googlemail.com>]

Dear all,

a question on log-files. Stata does not log any commands that are  
inside loops (it only logs the results/output). Since loops are  
usually all over in my do-files I end up having a long list of  
uninformative notices in my log-files.

I know that most people add comments (e.g. "di ....") in their do- 
files in order to keep track at which part of the loop their log-file  
is recording. I do not like this solution since it means a lot of  
additional typing and a potential source of typos. Is there any other  
solution, e.g. some sort of "noisily" command that forces Stata to log  
commands within loops?

Many thanks for any answers,
Jan
