I would like to predict at certain values (e.g. the mean, 0.5*mean,
2*mean, etc).

I am not so sure: Do you want to restrict the observations for which you
-predict-, or do you want to hold variables at certain values?

respect to the things over which the loop runs.
And these things are numbers. I do not see how I can name differently.
To get a prediction at a specific point using -predict- I suppose I need
the if option. But as the model is quiet long and many variables drop
out -generate- involves less code.

best for your purpose.
Why aren't you using -predict-?

after a regression I would like to generate predictions for different
values of the original variables.
The first loop generate various scaled mean values.
The second and third loop then generate the predictions c* for the
various scaled means.
The problem is how to name c*. Now the names include numbers which Stata
does not accept (error: invalid name).
Any ideas how I can get around this?
