st: Creating variable in Stata

Hello Stata-listers,
I'd like to create a variable that indicates whether several variables in the dataset (77 actually) are all coded as missing (.) for a respondent. I've tried the following with no luck...
gen info_C=0
replace info_C=1 if variable4/variable81==.
and
gen info_C=0
replace info_C=1 if variable4-variable81==.
Can anyone tell me how to generate a variable that will tell me if a whole set of variables were coded as missing without writing out replace info_C=1 if variable1==.& variable2==. and so on for all 77 variables?
Thank you!
Kristen
