This sounds like a problem in spells. You might check out -tsspell-
from SSC and/or my article in Stata Journal 7(2): 249-265 (2007) which
is accessible to non-subscribers. They provide and explain machinery
that might help.

Dear All
I have to calculate a variable in this way
gen awc_4=1 if awc[_n]==1 & awc[_n+1]!=1 & awc[_n+2]!=1 & awc[_n+3]!
=1 &
awc[_n+4]!=1
and on basis of the above variable, generate a new variable of average
gen rgg3avgf=( rgg[_n]+ rgg[_n+1]+ rgg[_n+2])/3 if awc_4[_n-1]==1
Is there a way to write the above commands in short form ( like, _n/
_n+3) ....
