Hello,

I would like to take a simple example for my quest:

Suppose I generate a variable and then have a histogram on the generated
variable:

gen ab=1-b
hist ab, disc freq


Is it possible to nest the gen command in the hist command:

hist (gen ab=a-b), disc freq

This is, by command, not possible but what would be the syntax for this
purpose?
I searched for nesting in stata but could not find really what I want to do.
