st: Test for the difference between two ratios

Hi all,
This might be a simple question but I did not manage to find the
answer to it. I have two variables, say X and Y, so I calculated the
ratio:
svy: ratio x/y
svy: ratio x/y if gender ==1
svy: ratio x/y if gender ==2
Now, what I want to do is to test whether this ratio is the same for,
say, males and females. I would be grateful if someone could shed some
light on how to do this..
Thanks a lot!
Marcos
