Hello Stata-Listers,

As a new Stata user with the help of yourselves I have completed my
survival analysis and now want to output the results in a specific
format.  I should be most grateful for comments.  I have looked at
-list- and -summarize- but neither seem to fit my exact requirements.

Example:  I have the following data, the variables are:

Sex : Sex of patients
Ageband : Age at treatment
OBS: Observed neoplasms
EXP: Expected neoplasms
SMR: Standardized Mortality Ratio (OBS/EXP)
PYears: Person-Time (Years) in analysis

Sex      AgeBand   OBS   EXP    SMR   PYears
MALE       0-4      5    0.25   20      6.45
MALE       5-9      1    0.3    3.33    1.4
MALE       10-14    3    0.4    7.5     2.6
FEMALE     0-4      2    0.25   8       3.25
FEMALE     5-9      6    0.75   8       1.95
FEMALE     10-14    1    0.1    10      8.25

Ideally, I should like to display the data above with meaningful labels
for the data-set and variables, a summary line for each sex and overall
and line separators as appropriate for example:

OVERALL                          18        2.05      8.78    23.9
------------------------------------------------------------------

The formatted data can be dumped to an ASCII text file.

I'm sure this is possible.  All suggestions gratefully received.

With best wishes

Dave
