Looks like stata doesn't print anything to stdin or stderr, but does create a .log file with the same name as your .do file.

===Terminal Mode===

To start an interactive session, load one of the modules and run <code>stata-se</code> (or <code>stata-mp</code>):

$ module load stata-se
 +
$ which stata-se

Interactive Sessions

Terminal Mode

To start an interactive session, load one of the modules and run stata-se (or stata-mp): 

$ module load stata-se
$ which stata-se
/farmshare/software/non-free/stata-se/16/stata-se
$ stata-se

                                      979-696-4601 (fax)
...

Desktop Mode

If you connect using X11 for remote display, you can run xstata-se (or xstata-mp) to start the desktop (graphical) version of the application: 

$ ssh -Y sunetid@rice.stanford.edu
rice $ module load stata-se
rice $ xstata-se &

Non-interactive jobs

You can also run Stata non-interactively using the do command, producing a .log file containing results: 

$ module load stata-se
$ cat test.do
sysuse auto
describe
$ stata -b do test.do
$ cat test.log
Contains data from /farmshare/software-prod/non-free/stata-se/16/ado/base/a/aut
> o.dta
  obs:            74                          1978 Automobile Data
 vars:            12                          13 Apr 2018 17:45
...

Batch jobs

Or, submit a batch job to run on one of the compute nodes: 

$ module load stata-se
$ sbatch --wrap='stata -b do test.do'

You can also write and submit a traditional Slurm job script: 

$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/bash
module load stata-se
stata-se -b do test.do
$ sbatch test.sh
$ ls test.log
test.log
