You seem to be reaching for
... if inlist(substr(string(id), 1, 2), "45", "74", "63")
Notes:
1. -if- used in this way is called a qualifier, not a command.
2. See help on the functions -string()-, -substr()-, -inlist()-.
3. See also http://www.stata-journal.com/article.html?article=dm0058
for an introductory tour of functions.
