st: using outcome of the command "list"

Dear Statalist,
I have a data set like the following:
IDnumber State NewID
1 Alabama .
2 Alaska .
.. .... ...
.. .... ...
.. .... ...
52 Wyoming .
If I input -list IDnumber if State=="Wyoming"-, the outcome will be '52'. Now I want to replace missing value in the first cell of the variable NewID by this outcome. How can I write code for that?
I tried the following but it did not work: replace NewID[1]=list IDnumber if State=="Wyoming".
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Regards
Majumder
