As it happens, I have plans to extend the -somersd- package with a new
module -cenval-, calculating clustered and/or weighted confidence
intervals for percentile values more simply and efficiently than can
currently be done using -cendif- and/or -censlope-. However, recently I
haven't had the time to concentrate on this.
Best wishes

Roger Newson has an approach that works for any quantile, accounts for
clustering and weighting, but ignores stratification. See:

One problem with a bootstrap approach is that the weights for each
replicate must be re-normalized so that they add to the population
total.

If you can't find anything else, you can bootstrap the percentiles 1000 times and get approximate confidence intervals.

Since I have survey data, I have to use the command pctile but Stata
reports the percentile not the conffidence interval, ¿what can I do to
obtain the confidence interval?
