I agree with Ronan. I even suggest for student dissertations and theses the
inclusion (at least in the annexes) of the used commands and the results
outputs, when using Stata or R, or the figures when using MLwIN. For
publication, I think that showing some commands would help readers in their
analysis.

No potential for flames as far as I can see.
As a reviewer I encourage the practice so that people know the
capabilities of software, and if they are undertaking a similar study,
they may be guided in their choice of software for analysis.
