I would write this in terms of variable loop counts. Assume here that
I, J, K are defined previously.
forval i = 1/`I' {
forval j = 1/`J' {
forval k = 1/`K' {
}
}
}
If any of the loop counts is 1, there is no great loss. (If absolutely
nothing is done in such a case, condition inside on the loop count
being 2 or more.)
Shorter code and easier to follow.

Thanks very much for that idea. It will probably be the route I pursue.
Also thanks to Phil Schumm for suggesting recursion; I will also look
into that idea.
