st: Formatted 3-way tables

[Richard Moverare <richard.moverare@gmail.com>]

Dear Statalist,

I guess this could be solved in some neat way, but I haven't found
anysolution. I would like to create 3-way tables that looks something
like:

webuse byssin
table workplace smokes race, row

But I would like column percentages, a "total" column (i.e. smokes yes
or no, regardless of race). I have looked in the manual for -tabout-
but I haven't seen any solution there. I understand that I can
generate new variables that give all categories and then use
-tabulate-, but I have to generate a great number of tables so it
isn't a feasible way. This is such a basic feature in all other
statistical softwares, so I assume there is some easy solution I
haven't found. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All the best,
Rick M.
