I have recently upgraded from Stata 13.1 to Stata 15.1, and I am noticing a difference when I am doing Monte Carlo simulations. In Stata 13.1, I would set a seed, run N repetitions, save the results, and then store the contents of c(seed). Then when I wanted to run repetitions N+1 to 2N, I would simply use
Code:
set seed
and the contents of c(seed) to start where I left off.

When I try to do this in Stata 15.1, what I get out of c(seed) is very long and unwieldy, whereas it had been relatively short in Stata 13.1. Why is this? Is there another way of doing what I had been doing in version 13.1?
