Check out the -renvars- ado (findit renvars). It does exactly what you're
looking to do.

Subject: st: common prefix to all variables
Hello statalist,
I would like to give all variables a common prefix.
I thought first of using unab in a foreach loop:
unab variable : _all
foreach x in `variablen' {
rename `x' v_`x'
}
Although Stata correctly unabbreviates my varlist, I cannot call this
varlist in a foreach loop nor in a for any loop.
All suggestions are welcomed
Best wishes
Hans
