If such -by:- tricks are new to you, then you might want to read 

SJ-2-1  pr0004  . . . . . . . . . . Speaking Stata:  How to move step

        explains the use of the by varlist : construct to tackle
        a variety of problems with group structure, ranging from
        simple calculations for each of several groups to more
        advanced manipulations that use the built-in _n and _N

Thank you, Martin and Nick. I was wrong in my description of the
problem. If, within id, result equals SUCCESS later than NA according to
comm_date, then NA does not change. Thus, changing the last part of
Martins code,

...result[_N]!="SUCCESS"

solved it.

Thanks a lot for both pointing me to 'bys' and [_N]. Very neat! Looks
easy, but I've spent the entire morning trying to figure this one out...

It does no harm to insist that observations are ordered by date within
identifier: 

bys id (comm_date): replace result = "DM SUCCESS" if result=="NA" &
concept=="veil" & abonaa=="FRIHET" & result[_N]=="SUCCESS"

Looking through very recent threads would uncover several examples of
the same technique.
