Thanks Nick but I am not sure if I am getting it right. The 'd' is among the
variables just likje a b or c but a b and c do not have missing values and
in a way are unique. So imagine that my variables are labelled 1-50 and 1-3
do not have missing values, then starting with variable 4  to variable 50 I
want all the 1-3 that have missing values in variables 4 - 50 but one at at
time in a single command. I want 1-3 listed for missing values in 4, 5, 6
etc one at a time.

Assuming you want to do this:

	tabulate a if d==.
	tabulate b if d==.
	tabulate c if d==.

for each of many variables d, the following code wil do it for you:

	foreach v1 of varlist <list of 'd' variables> {
		foreach v2 of varlist a b c {
			tab `v2' if `v1'==.
		}
	}
