st: Problem with temporary variable and macro suffix

I have a little problem with temporary variables in my program.
I want to create temporary variables with some foreach-elements as a suffix.
I did:
foreach a in element1 element2 element3 {
tempvar new`a'
gen `new`a'' = .
}
But this does not work.
I there any other way to do it?
Best,
Thomas
