Subject   st: how to rename a set of variables using foreach

Dear all,
I have a dataset with several dummy variables for income categories named:

inccatd1 inccatd2 inccatd3 inccatd4 inccatd5 etc till inccatd14

and I'd like to go 2 steps down in the numbers of income categories: i.e. I want inccatd3 to become inccatd1 etc. and I cannot quite figure out whether I can do it with foreach or not and all the advice I found so far is on using string commands.
I would be grateful for advice.
Ekaterina
