st: Creating a loop for placing observations in a macro without vallist

Hi Statalisters,
I currently have a program that is allowing me to import an excel
file, reshape it, and then place observations in a macro by using the
command:
local macname "`=varname[1]' `varname[2]'...etc."
This works fine for a few observations, however I eventually want to
be able to place 544 observations in the macro. Is there a loop I
could use in order to make all of this more automatic?
Thanks,
Miles
