st: renaming variables from first observation

Good morning statalist
I would like to rename my variables var1-var14 to the corresponding
values from the first observation.
I followed the post on
http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2004-07/msg00009.html and
modified it for my purpose.
but I got this error
. forvalues k = 1/14 {
2. local newname = var`k'[1]
3. ren var`k' `newname'
4. }
Code not allowed
Also is it posible to store the values of an observation in a macro?
Perhaps I could then use Nick Cox's -renvars-?
Cheers
Abhimanyu
