Something like this?
forv i = 1/3 {
scalar w`i' = ceil(10*runiform())
}
if scalar(w1) > scalar(w2) & scalar(w1) > scalar(w3) {
scalar hig = 1
}
else if scalar(w2) > scalar(w1) & scalar(w2) > scalar(w3) {
scalar hig = 2
}
else if scalar(w3) > scalar(w1) & scalar(w3) > scalar(w2) {
scalar hig = 3
}
else {
scalar hig = 0
}
scalar list _all
