This isn't a simple question at all. If your
variable is discrete, two or more values may tie
for mode. If your variable is continuous, how
to define the mode is an open issue. Nevertheless,
-search mode- points to an -egen- function =mode()-
and a user-written command -modes-. From your question
the first may be closer to what you want.
The Statalist FAQ contains advice on using -search-
and other facilities.
