I'll change your example. I don't know about "below". ~ 75% are
below; do you what them all?
. use auto
. centile rep78 , c(75)
-- Binom.
Interp. --
Variable | Obs Percentile Centile [95% Conf.

rep78 | 69 75 4 4

. ret li
scalars:
r(n_cent) = 1
r(N) = 69
r(ub_1) = 5
r(lb_1) = 4
r(c_1) = 4
macros:
r(centiles) : "75"
. list rep78 if rep78 == `r(c_1)'
