Thomas,
the following should do the trick,
su var
gen nvar=(var-r(mean))/r(sd)
if you have more than one variable, it's easy enough to write a small programme doing it (even my students managed the feast).

Subject: st: standardizing on [0,1]
I have a variable with values ranging from -1.58e-6 to 946515 (annual
scores on a particular matrix derived measure). I would like to
standardize these values on [0,1] so that the observation with the
highest value is given the value 1. Any thoughts on an efficient way to
do this? Thanks to all in advance.
Tom
