st: highest scalar of a matrix

["Joao Pedro W. de Azevedo" <jazevedo@provide.com.br>]

Hello all,
I'm looking for a function or a routine in Stata7 which would give me the
highest scalar of a matrix [n x 1].
For example if I have a matrix such as  B[6,1]=(1\2\3\4\5\6) this function
should give me a scalar or local with the value 6.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
JP/
