No, but there's a better way. Just write your own wrappers
e.g.
program qlist
version 8
syntax varlist [if] [in] [, * ]
marksample touse, novarlist
qui count if `touse'
if r(N) == 0 error 2000
list `varlist' if `touse', sep(4) noobs `options'
end
Then you say e.g.
qlist <varlist> if year > 1960
Your preferences are then hard-wired.
