Question regarding -set seed-

[Alina Faruk]

Hi,

This might sound a bit silly but I just wanted to be sure.

If I am understanding the help file correctly, you should only use -set seed- once in your do file, even if you have two commands which use simulations in that do file, right? E.g. -sqreg, reps(#)- and -bsqreg, reps(#)-. Or do I need to set the seed before each command line?

Thanks in advance!

Alina:
as per -set seed- entry in Stata .pdf manual (page 2468-9) it's better to set the seed only once.
