st: Re: Is there a statacommand for a Historical Maximum? & How tocumulate series?

["Michael Blasnik" <michael.blasnik@verizon.net>]

You can get the running/cumulative maximum using subscripting, such as

gen cummax=x in 1
replace cummax=max(x,cummax[_n-1]) in 2/l

If you have panel data or missing data/gaps, you may want to check out using 
time series operators  by using tsset.  You can get a cumulative sum using 
the sum function

gen cumsum=sum(x)
