Data preparation - Store value of variable as local macro in loop

Dear Statalisters,

I am quite new in stata and I am preparing my data for an event study.

I have a problem creating a loop that stores the value of a variable for a specific row in my dataset as a local macro. This stored macro will later be used in the loop in my preperation.

I have created an exampel to illustrate what i mean:

If I have a dataset looking like this:
And I have created the following code:

foreach l of var1 {
local v = var2
display `v'
}

I would in this case like to get the output displayed:
3
6
7
1
12
7
12
2
4
8

The numbers above is just an example and a simplification of my dataset, but the main problem for me is the same. Stata stores the value of var2 for the first row as v. In this case "3".

I would appreciate any help I can get

Regards
