Thank you Kit, I think it might be a good idea for me (just read the Preface of your book) to look into your book for tips on several computations on my data. However, I do not have the book available at this moment, so I still could use some advice on generating the variables described.

I have the following challenge related to creating new variables.
In my data I have daily settlement prices from a futures market. For
each date (day) I have the variables JAN, FEB---- DEC (12 months).
Every day there are registered prices for the next 3 months, meaning
that for a given date 27dec2007 I may have observations for JAN FEB
and MAR, and missing in all other months. Under is a part of these data:
There is a 'recipe' illustrating how to do various computations on
daily futures price series in section 10.6 of my book Introduction to
Stata Programming.
