Expanding on Nick's example:

*------------------ begin example ------------------
webuse turksales
line sales t,                              ///
    xtick(119.5(4)159.5, tlength(*1.5))    ///
    xmlabel(120/159,                       ///
        noticks format(%tqq))              ///
    xlabel(121.5(4)157.5,                  ///
        noticks format(%tqCY) labgap(2.5)) ///
    xtitle("")
*------------------- end example -------------------

Hope this helps,
