st: centralizing survey data

["Stephan F. Groschwitz" <groschs@email.uc.edu>]

Dear infinite Stata-List wisdom,

I'm also fairly new to stata and apologize in advance if this  
question has been answered before and I can't find it.
I have a data set with survey data, and I'd like to centralize a  
couple variables.
Unfortunately the svy: command does not work with egen varmean=mean 
(var). Is there any other way to pass the weighted means into a  
constant for centralizing purposes?

Thank you,

Stephan
