I can't see any problem with that code. I would rewrite
local product 1 2 3 4
foreach k in `product' {
gen w`k' = x`k' /x14
replace w`k' = 0 if w`k'==.
}
as
forval k = 1/4 {
gen w`k' = x`k' /x14
replace w`k' = 0 if w`k' == .
}
but that is just a matter of style. You have to tell us what "did not
work" means.
