st: How to generate a censored random variable

Dear Statalisters,
How can I create a censored random variable (left=0 and right=2) in
Stata, with mean=0 and sigma=sdpb1?
I was using - gen erb= rnormal(0,sdpb1)- but the variable isn't
censored. The mean is 0 and std error is sdpb1, but it's out of the
range 0-2.
In R, the code is:
erb[n,]=rnorm.trunc(1, t.left = 0, t.right = medb[n], mean = 0, sigma = sdpb1)
However, I would like to do in Stata.
Thanks a lot,
