Svy & gen or egen

[Alex Fort]

Hi!
Is there any way to use the svy command and generate a new variable at the same time?
As do this svy: mean var, over(area)
but generate a new variable with the results?

area	var	area_mean (new var)
rural	1	mean for rural
urban	1	mean for urban
urban	0	mean for urban
rural	0	mean for rural
urban	0	mean for urban
rural	1	mean for rural
rural	1	mean for rural
rural	1	mean for rural

Best,
Alex

-generate- and -egen- are not designed to be used as estimation commands, which is essentially how you are wanting to use them. Here's an example using the NHANES data example from the -svy- manual.
