st: Estimating sqreg without a constant

[P.Vasudeva@sussex.ac.uk (Puja Vasudeva)]

Dear Statalisters,

I am trying to estimate a quantile regression of wages on a host of 
explanatory variables but without a constant term. The explanatory 
variables include the full set of industry dummies that serve as fixed 
effects in the absence of a constant. The primary motivation is to obtain 
an inter-quantile range for industry dummies.

I have looked at the qreg and sqreg and tried to modify the ado files 
(saved separately from the original ado-files) by including the noconstant 
option after the regress commands but I'm not sure this is correct and can 
find no way to check this. Would be very grateful for suggestions!
