st: Knowing how a variable was generated

Dear All,
If some of the variables in a dataset were generated by a transformation or combination of some other variable(s) in the data, is it possible to know this without seeing the relevant log or do file? For example, consider a situation where the variables in the data include A, B, C, and D, and B was generated as follows:
B = A*C + D
Is there a command for determining how B was generated? Thanks.
Regards,
Louis
