If you just want to include these in a regression, use factor variables:
help fvvarlist
i.year##i.state
If you want the actual dummies and interactions, use xi
help xi
xi i.year i.state i.year*i.state
Make sure state name is a numeric variable. If it is string, generate
a new numeric variable using encode
help encode
