st: generating number list depending on another variable

Dear all,
Following problem:
I have variable1 with different values (AL, BS, SF, ZK...etc.) and
want to create another variable with a list of numbers reaching from
e.g. 1-100;
For each value in variable1 there should be the same number in
variable2; it should look like that in the end:
Variable 1 Variable 2
AL 1
AL 1
AL 1
BS 2
BS 2
BS 2
BS 2
BS 2
SF 3
SF 3
ZG 4
etc etc.
I tried to use egen variable2=fill(1(1)100) also in combination with
foreach; somehow generates values from 1-100 independently from
Variable 1
Thank you!
