You can get the running/cumulative maximum using subscripting, such as

gen cummax=x in 1
replace cummax=max(x,cummax[_n-1]) in 2/l

If you have panel data or missing data/gaps, you may want to check out using time series operators by using tsset. You can get a cumulative sum using the sum function

gen cumsum=sum(x)
