You can use -indeplist- to get a list of all independent variables, and
a list of independent variables that have not been dropped. You can use
those two to create a list of variables that have been dropped, like in
the example below. To download -indeplist- type -findit indeplist-.
*--------- begin example --------------
sysuse auto, clear
gen domestic = !foreign
reg mpg foreign domestic
indeplist, dropped
local all `r(X)'
indeplist
local notdropped `r(X)'
local dropped : list all - notdropped
di "`dropped'"
*---------- end example ---------------
(For more on how to use examples I sent to the Statalist, see

Hope this helps,
