st: scalar do not allow -if-

Dear Statalisters,
In a small simulation I generate data and analyze them with 3 regression methods. In the bottom of the loop I save (among other things)
scalar b2 = exp(_b[x]) // beta
and then put the -scalar- values into a variable in a dataset where I collect the results from the 1000 simulated datasets. For example
quietly replace b2=scalar(b1) in `i'
That works fine. Now I want to calculate "hig" (in the bottom of the loop) and save it in the dataset with aggregated data (where w1, w2, w3 are -scalars-).
scalar hig = 1 if (w1 > w2) & (w1 > w3)
scalar hig = 2 if (w2 > w1) & (w2 > w3)
scalar hig = 3 if (w3 > w1) & (w3 > w1)
However, -if- is not allowed in combination with -scalar-.
Anyone know a better solution for this.
/Tomas
