Matt,
instead of
printf("Case done")
try
printf("Case done \n")
displayflush()
This is documented in -help mata printf-
"One of the purposes of the iteration output is to keep the user
informed that the code is indeed working, yet as the above code is
written, the user probably will not see the iteration messages as they
occur. Instead, nothing will appear for a while, and then,
unexpectedly, numerous iteration messages will appear as Stata,
buffers full, decides to send to the terminal the waiting output.
To force output to be displayed, use [M-5] displayflush():"
Best
Daniel
