As I noted in my response to your earlier question, you'll get better  
help if you describe what you're trying to do (in full), rather than  
just asking for help piecemeal along the way.  For example, it sounds  
in this case like you may be trying to use an idiom from another  
language that doesn't apply in Stata, but there's no way we can tell  
that (or otherwise determine how best to help) if we don't know what  
you're trying to do.
