As indicated in replies to similar questions 
on 6 November and 12 December, there is no 
need to loop. Create a variable with your 
classes and then use the tabulation command
of your choice. 

Edwin Leuven recommended -autocode()-. 

Another possibility is to use -floor()-. 

For example: 

gen lower = 0.05 * floor(pos/0.05) 
bysort lower : gen count = _N 
tabdisp lower, cell(count) 

to display midpoints as here 

gen midpoint = lower + 0.025 
tabdisp midpoint, cell(count)
