Hi,
The -codebook2- command may have what you want -or at least close to
it. You'll also need -vartyp- to go along with it.

I am trying to write a codebook, containing the variable name,
variable
label and the frequency, percent, percent of nonmissing values, value,
and
label of each value.
I would like to have something like this:
q1 state of economy
------------------------------------------------------------------
Value Label Frequency Percent Per(nonm) Cum
------------------------------------------------------------------
1 gotten better 117 6.46% 6.90% 6.46%
2 stayed the same 472 26.08% 27.83% 32.54%
3 gotten worse 1107 61.16% 65.27% 93.70%
. 114 6.30% 100.00%
------------------------------------------------------------------
1810 100.00% 100.00%
I've tried the commands codebook- and -cb2html-, but codebook- only
displays value, label and frequency and -cb2html- additionally displays
percentages, but not the percentage of nonmissings and cumulative
percentages. Ideally I would like to have displayed the percentages of
all
"valid" categories, where "valid" could be defined as(say) q*<90.
I could get these by using tab- for all variables and copy it, but I
was
wondering if there is a way to do this automatically.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thomas
