There have been several elaborate solutions to this, but a very simple one may be enough -- using an official command only. 

I gather that each row and column combination (var1, var2) occurs once only. 

That being so, note that 

tab var1 var2 [aw=var3], matcell(matrix) 

yields a matrix. But see help on -limits-.

I have three variables (var1, var2, var3).  I would like to create a
matrix where the values of var1 are the columns (ascending), the
values of var2 are the rows (also ascending), and the values of var3
are the elements in the matrix.  I know there must be a user defined
procedure out there to do this, but I haven't been able to find it.
