st: tabout loop across surveys

["Cardozo-Silva, Adriana-Rocio" <acardoz@uni-goettingen.de>]

Hello,
I am using tabout to export a table containing average wages by industry
sectors using 9 different survey years.
 (from 2002 to 2010). When I use the append command, the resulting table
shows a table for each year ordered vertically. 
I want to have a table containing the industry sectors in the first column
and to its right the average wages for each year.
Can some one tell me how to do such a loop?

My code is:

foreach year in 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10{
use cos`year', clear
tabout industry [weight=weight] using result.cvs, c(mean wages) sum
h2(Average Wages) h3(Year 20`year')  format(1) append
}



Thanks
