st: Fw: Event within dates

I have prescription data in panel format for analysis. I wish to generate an indicator rs to be 1 for any subject who took drug2 within 56 days of taking drug1 (either before or after) as shown in sample data. I have done a code below but it generates rs to be 0. I have look at some examples on the Stata list without success. Please user somebody should have a look at the code for me. This is for my PhD.

 
I use Stata/SE 9.0 for Windows.

Many thanks
 
David

I have a code like this after formatting the date into a Stata date but rs1 is all zeros.
 
g rs1=0

forval i = 1/`=_N' {
        forval j = 1/`=_N' {
            replace rs1=1 if drug[`i']==1 & id[`i']==id[`j'] & ///
       drug[`j'] ==2 & inrange(date[`i'] - date[`j'], -56,56) in `i'
        }
}

}
