Jeph Herrin and Austin Nichols between them came up with what looks

------------------------------
clear
input a b c study p
26 85 41 1 0.056
12 56 23 2 0.862
45 85 96 3 0.996
45 86 91 4 0.005
end
g double pvalue=.
local number = _N
forv i = 1/`number' {
 qui genhwi `=a[`i']' `=b[`i']' `=c[`i']'
 qui replace pvalue = r(p_exact) in `i'
}
li
