The easiest way to do things like that is to use -est save-
to store the entire model. That way you can use postestimation
commands like -predict- and -predictnl- to create your new
variables.
*---------- begin example ---------------
sysuse auto, clear
// estimate the model
reg price c.mpg##i.foreign
est save "c:/temp/foo"
// create the other dataset
drop _all
set obs 100
gen mpg = rnormal(21,6)
gen foreign = runiform() < .3
// load the saved estimation results
est use "c:/temp/foo"
// create my variable using -predict-
// alternatively look at -predictnl-
predict mpghat
*----------------- end example ------------------

Hope this helps,
