That's a pretty lousy solution. Here's a better one: 

program cnumlist, rclass
	version 8.2 
	numlist `0' 
	local result "`r(numlist)'" 
	local result : subinstr local result " " ",", all
	return local numlist "`result'"
end 	

i.e. this should take the same input as -numlist-. 

Very little testing!
