st: Combining and repeating value from another dataset

Hi All,
A question to which I am sure there is a simple answer, but as a novice
in Stata, one I am having a hard time finding.
I have a dataset with variables a, b, c and d (stored in X.dta). There
are about 5000 observations.
In another dataset I have only variable e(stored in Y.dta). There is
only one observation.
I want to create a composite dataset with variables a, b, c, d and e. I
wish to repeat the same value of e 5,000 times in my new dataset for
each of the existing 5,000 observations of a, b, c, and d.
What do you suggest to create this structure?
Thanks,
R
