st: looping through variables that are not consecutive and have common stem in name

Hi all,
I have the variables time1 correct1 time2 correct2 etc.
I'd like to loop through only the time variables, counting values that
are under 300 and not missing. I'm trying to use something like this:
qui forval j = 1/164 {
qui foreach v correct`j' {
replace count_sub300 = count_sub300 + (`v' < 300 & `v' < .)
}
}
It's not working. I'm quite sure that the 2nd line is not correct, but
can't figure out what it should be. Can anyone advise?
Many thanks,
David
