Hello,
  I have a dataset of around 1000 people and I want to see how much the sample 
size diminishes by if I match the participants just by age, by age and 
education, by age, education and gender and so on. I do want to do some 
preliminary analyses on those matched people so I would like to store them in 
same manner.
So, I am thinking of a table like this:
Matching Variable              Sample size           ID variable
 Age                                       XX                       id_a
Age & educ                            YY                      id_ae
.................
 Is there any function in STATA which will accomplish this?
 Thanks,
  -Joey
