...
not entirely clear what you want to do there,
but maybe you can borrow from this code on generating a list of scalars 
(which might be inefficient either):

***
#delimit;
sysuse auto;
local meanlist = "0";
forvalues i = 1/2       {;
forvalues j = `i'/3     {;
quietly sum price, meanonly;
scalar s`i'`j' = r(mean)/runiform();
local meanlist = " `meanlist', `=s`i'`j'' ";
di "`meanlist'";
scalar mymax = max(`meanlist');
di mymax;
                                                };
                                        };
***

best, rich
