st: or operator with lists of variables

Dear Statalists,
I try to solve the following problem:
- I know what to to in a simple case, e.g.:
gen identical=.
replace identical=1 if base1==variable1 | base1==variable2 | base1==variable3
- however, I would like to compare two lists of variables (base1-base20 and var1-var25) with the "or operator" (I try to
describe it in "pseudo-code"):
gen identical=.
replace identical=1 if (base1-base20) == (var1-var25)
- In this case the condition should be satisfied if any of the base and var combinations has identical values.
Thank you!
Kind regards
Philipp
