Thank you very much, Stephen, for your suggestion. I must say I was a
bit surprised that nobody mentioned that they already had encountered
the same problem and found a solution for it. I did a -findit sample
weight-, but that gave not the desired result. Didn't think of doing a
-findit pps-.

I have written -samplepps- ("sample proportional to size"), available
from SSC with -ssc install samplepps-. It sounds as if this may do what
you seek

A -findit pps- would have found it (and a program by Stas Kolenikov.
