Another way to do it, implementing my last posting:
1. Fix those "&". Better done sooner rather than later.
foreach v of var * {
capture replace `v' = "" if `v' == "&"
}
2. Use the -missing()- function.
foreach v1 of varlist v4-v50 {
foreach v2 of varlist v1 v2 v3 {
di
di "{txt}Tabulation of `v2' for missing `v1'"
tab `v2' if missing(`v1')
}
}
