Subject   st: Summarising multiple tabulations in one table
Date   Tue, 10 Dec 2002 11:03:53 +0000 (GMT Standard Time)

I have a large number of categorical variables named "agekst*" (where * 
are integers), where each variable is coded using the same frame (4 
categories: 0,1,2,3). The variables summarise the number of children a 
woman has had by each age (the elements of *). I would like to tabulate 
the percentages in each agekst* category -- these are straightforward 
to derive using -tabulate- and e.g. -foreach-. But how can I report the 
percentages in a summary table in which there is a column for each 
variable and the rows are the col percentages? (Or, alternatively, 
there are rows for each variable, and the col percents on agekst* form 
columns.)
I also know each woman's birthdate, summarised in a categorical 
variable named "cohort" (8 categories), and it would be nice to able to 
repeat the summary table for each value of cohort.
[I've looked at -collapse-, -table-, and their relatives, and none 
appear to be what I require.]
Suggestions please!
In essence I am asking how I might use Stata to reproduce output that 
the SPSS REPORT command produces.  Here follows an example of what SPSS 
can do:

SPSS Code & Output

sort cases by cohort.
report /format= colspace(1) nolist margins(1)
     /variables= cohort agekst20 agekst25 agekst30 agekst35 agekst40 agekst45 (6)
     /break= cohort
    /summary=percent(0,3).
