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
