st: looping over several macros

Hi,
I want to perform a transformation on the variable 'drating' based on
the values of three local macros as below
gen drating06 = .
replace drating06 = drating * `change' if drating >= `1994' & drating
< `1994_shift'
On the first loop, I want to use the first values in all of the macros
`change', `1994' and `1994_shift', on the second loop I want to use
the second values in all of the macros and so on. Can somebody tell
me the right code to use so Stata loops on all three macros
simultaneously rather than looping the first, then the second and then
the third.
Thanks
John Holmes
