Jeff,

You could use Paul H. Bern's program -bigtab-, available from SSC.

. ssc install bigtab

Hello,

I am using Stata 9 and want to get a simple tabulation by city. My file
consists of over 207,000 rows. When I type in "tab city" I get returned an
error R134 that warns me that I cannot encode more than 65,536 unique
values. When I do a select distinct sql statement in my Access table on
the same field there are only 3046 unique values.

Any suggested work-arounds would be helpful.

Thanks,
Jeff
