Can you show us an example of how the results were wrong?  Here
is a simple example I ran that worked just fine.

    . set obs 10
    obs was 0, now 10

    . gen a = _n

    . gen b = _n+2

    . gen c = _n+4

    . egen z = eqany(a b c) , values(1 4 9 12)

    . list

                 a          b          c         z
      1.         1          3          5         1
      2.         2          4          6         1
      3.         3          5          7         0
      4.         4          6          8         1
      5.         5          7          9         1
      6.         6          8         10         0
      7.         7          9         11         1
      8.         8         10         12         1
      9.         9         11         13         1
     10.        10         12         14         1
