Subject:      To get lowest value among each observation

Hello all,

I have four variables and 2000 obs. I need to get the lowest value in each
observation (row) among four variables in a separate variables for lowest
value, as well as that variable name.

Here is the example:

var1 var2 var3 var4
20    30   15   40
17    50   25   30
.                .
.                .
.                .

Output should be like this;
var1 var2 var3 var4  low low_var
20    30   15   40   15   var3
17    50   25   30   17   var1
.                .
.                .
.                .

I think i am clear.

Thanks in advacne.

Sclavid.
