st:how to transfer a value to another dataset

Dear all,
I want to define a constant variable in one data-set from a value
generated from another data file. How could I transfer the value
across files?
For example, I -sum ppid cs,
sum ppid cs
Variable | Obs Mean Std. Dev. Min Max
-------------+--------------------------------------------------------
ppid | 223566 2294.551 1314.803 1 4544
cs | 223566 5323.5 3073.242 1 10646
now I got the maximum value of ppid and cs(mppid and mcs).
Then I open another data, and need to generate variables which is
id=_n+mppid, cs=_n+mcs. How could I realize it?
Local can only define the strings. I try to tostring mppid, and local
it , but it failed.
If you have any idea, please help me!
Thank you very much!
