st: New variable based on a sum of products of another variable

["Seamer Paul" <Paul.Seamer@westmidlands.nhs.uk>]

Hi Statalisters

Any advice much appreciated,

I'm trying to create a new variable based on a sum of products covering a moving range of another variable,

I think this will be clearest if I use an example, 

I have a variable 'var2' and want to generate a new variable 'newvar' equal to a sum of products covering 
moving ranges of 'var2' (the values below are not significant, just wanted to keep it simple).

var2                       newvar 
2                           2
4                          (2*4) + 4
6                          (2*4*6) + (4*6) + 6
8                          (2*4*6*8) + (4*6*8) + (6*8) + 8
10                         (2*4*6*8*10) + (4*6*8*10) + (6*8*10) + (8*10) + 10
...                             ...
