st: calculate column sum with survey weights

Hello Statalist,
I would like to calculate a column total of a variable, but I need to weight the data.
I am currently following this guidance in the Statalist archive: http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2002-08/msg00269.html,
summ enrollment, meanonly [apply if or in as desired]
scalar sigma = r(sum)
di sigma
How can I do this calculation with survey weights? I added the iweight command as shown below, but is there a better way?
summ enrollment [iweight=resp_wgt], meanonly [apply if or in as desired]
scalar sigma = r(sum)
di sigma
Thanks,
Alex
