Taking a cue from -h maximize-, the technical way to do this would be:


*************
webuse union, clear

reg union age grade  /* 
*/ not_smsa south black

mat A=e(b)

clogit union age grade  /* 
*/ not_smsa south black,  /* 
*/ group(idcode) from(A, skip)
*************

I have no idea, though, whether this is appropriate for your circumstances.
The help file remarks that "Only in rare circumstances would you ever need
to specify any of these options..."
