Rich,
Do mean something like this:
//Create 32 categorical variables
clear
set obs 10
forv i = 1/32 {
gen byte x`i' = cond(uniform()<.3 , 1 ,cond(uniform()>.5, 2, 3))
}
//Create Frequencies
set obs 14
forv i = 1/32 {
qui {
sum x`i' if x`i' == 1
replace x`i' = r(N)/10 in 11
sum x`i' if x`i' == 2
replace x`i' = r(N)/10 in 12
sum x`i' if x`i' == 3
replace x`i' = r(N)/10 in 13
replace x`i' = r(N) in 14
}
}
xpose, clear var
keep v11 - _var
order _v v11
label var v11 "Frequency of ones"
label var v12 "Frequency of twos"
label var v12 "Frequency of threes"
label var v13 "Total number of threes "
