The trick is the -levelsof- command, here is a silly example:
*------------ begin example -----------------
sysuse auto, clear
levelsof rep78
foreach lev in `r(levels)' {
di "this is level " `lev'
}
*------------- end example ------------------
(For more on how to use examples I sent to the Statalist, see
http://home.fsw.vu.nl/m.buis/stata/exampleFAQ.html )
Hope this helps,
Maarten
