st: how to find the integral for a portion of a normal distribution.

My weak math skills are showing up here -
For demonstration purposes, I have generated a set of 100,000 observations
with a normal distribution, mean 2.02, SD 1.74 and visualized this data and
the portion of observations above 1 with a histogram
drawnorm x , means(2.02) sds(1.75) n(100,000) clear
hist, xline(1)
I also computed the proportion of the observations <=1 from the Z score.
What I don't know how to do in Stata is find the integral for the
proportions of the distribution above and below 1.
How can I determine those two integrals in Stata?
Thanks
