Save simulated variable

[John Limhamn]

Hello,

I would like to know how a simulated variable can be saved, so that next time I run the simulation I can generate a new variable. For example: if I run my simulation using

simulate mean=_b[x], reps(10): program

then I get a new variable "mean" that consists of the beta coefficients. But next time I run the program, and even if I change the name to"mean1", stata will just overwrite the variable that was created in the first go. So when I look in my data editor I will never have more than one variable, the last one that was generated.

Any help appreciated.

Best regards,
John

What are you trying to do? What is "program"? Why do you think you need to run it multiple times? Why do you think the different runs should appear on the same row?
