Is there a STATA command similar to VLOOKUP that is available in EXCEL?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-findit vlookup- brings up the following:

vlookup from http://www.stata.com/users/kcrow
   vlookup. Indexing command. / Program by Kevin Crow, StataCorp
   < . . . >. / vlookup creates a new variable based on a key / and
   key value variable. vlookup is similar to a / Perl hash or the Excel
   command vlookup.
