Can you explain what you mean by this?

I don't think there is either a built-in or readily-available
user-written command that does this in one command.
If you are willing to estimate in two equations, and you don't need a
system estimator, then
oprobit $endogvar $exogvar
ivprobit depvar ($endogvar=$exogvar), twostep
should give you consistent estimates for both equations.
