Try -mata- then:

*************
clear*
mata
beta = J(160000,1,0)
mata des
end
*************


Why do you need to collect results in a -matrix-? I have never felt the urge
to do that, which could be entirely my fault, but let`s see whether we can
solve your problem more elegantly.

Betreff: st: Problem creating large matrices

Dear all,

I need to save the results of multiple estimations in a matrix. My
simulation produces 160,000 such results but when I?m trying to create a
matrix containing 160,000 rows with the following command: matrix beta = J
(160000,1,0), I get the following warning : 

Matsize too small
You have attempted to create a matrix with more than 11000 rows or columns
or to fit a model with more than 11000 variables plus ancillary parameters. 
You need to increase matsize using the set matsize command; see help
matsize.

However, the ?set matsize? command doesn?t accept numbers greater than
11,000.

Does anyone know if there is another command to create the matrices which
doesn?t fall into the matsize limitations or any other way to circumvent
this problem?

Thanking you in advance,
