Another way of doing this therefore:
hist y, freq ylab(10000 "10" 20000 "20" 30000 "30" 40000 "40",ang(h))
...
That is a little repetitive, but the cures which spring to mind,
such as
forval i = 1/4 {
local mylab `"`mylab' `i'0000 "`i'0""'
}
hist y, freq yla(`mylab', ang(h))
are here worse than the disease...
