Sure there is an alternative:
1) runs the same file 10 times with different parameters:
forvalues i=1/10 {
capture noisily do "C:\PROGRAMS\mydofile.do" `i'
}
Runs mydofile.do 10 times, tolerating errors in each run-iteration.
Value of i is passed as a parameter.
Depending on what you are doing, you may want to form the actual
parameters outside and pass to the
do-file or inside of the do-file, based on the iteration number.
Remove -noisily- if you do not need the output of individual iterations.
2) runs 10 do-files one time each:
forvalues i=1/10 {
capture noisily do "C:\PROGRAMS\mydofile`i'.do"
}
(files must be named mydofile1.do, mydofile2.do, etc)
Best,
