Ok, I see. This is a feature of the factor variable notation. The
interaction term is not added to your dataset, it is enough that
stdbmi and Etarecl are in your dataset and Stata knows that it also
has to include the product of the two. If you use post estimation
commands like -predict- or -margins-, Stata will know that it needs to
also add the interaction and it will do so. So, I guess that this
should cover most situations.

If you have a problem where you still require the product term to be
present in your data, you can still contact me.

Hope this helps,
Maarten
