st: string variable question

Hi,
I have two numeric variables in a Stata dataset: A1 and A2. Each has 26
elements. I want to create a third variable, brand, as part of a do
program that has 26 brand names. I tried
gen str brand = "A" "B" and so on to "Z"
but that didn't work. How can I create a brand variable?
Thanks,
Walt
