I was going to write that you could download -gsample- from 
the SSC archive and then type

 . gsample 10, percent wor cluster(lpnr)

but then I detected that -percent- cannot be used together 
with the -cluster()- option. I fixed the bug but you will have 
to wait until the package has been updated on SSC. Meanwhile,
a workaround would be

 . duplicates report lpnr
 . local n = round(r(unique_value) * 0.1)
 . gsample `n', wor cluster(lpnr) 

[-wor- causes sampling without replacement.]
