A rather specific answer to that question would be to use -contract-
*------------ begin example -------------
sysuse auto, clear
contract rep78, percent(percent) nomiss
list
*-------------- end example -------------
(For more on examples I sent to the Statalist see:
http://www.maartenbuis.nl/example_faq )
An answer that will work for wide variety of estimates (e.g. regression
coefficients and the like) is Roger Newson's -parmest-, to find it type
in Stata: -findit parmest-.
Hope this helps,
Maarten
