I propose to form a dataset containig the results and and to display this
dataset either with -list- or -tabdisp-. You may also transfer the dataset
with the results to a Desktop Publishing Program with -outsheet-.

The following may deal as a starting point:

--------------------------------------
contract z1, freq(n)
gen N = sum(n)
gen f = n/N[_N] * 100
gen F = sum(f)
gen F100 = 100 - F
tabdisp z1, cellvar(n f F F100)
-------------------------------------

Be aware that -contract- changes your dataset. You should therefore save you
data before using the above.

Andreas might also like to check out my -xcontract- package, downloadable from SSC. -xcontract- is an extended version of -contract-, which produces an output data set containing frequencies, percentages and (optionally) cumulative frequencies and percentages. The user may list this output data set, save to a disk file, or write it to memory, overwriting any pre-existing data.

I hope this helps.

Roger
