You can't do that in Stata or in any other package. Remember what a
statistical test is supposed to give you: the probability of drawing
the sample you observed, or a more extreme sample, given that your null
hypothesis is true. So we need to create a distribution of samples
given that he null hypothesis is true. In order to create such a
distribution the null hypothesis must contain an equal sign (either
equal in case of a two sided test, or less than or equal to or more
than or equal to in case of a one sided test).
Hope this helps,
