You should be able to produce tables like you are used to by using 
-parmest- and -dsconcat-, followed by -tostring- to convert the estimates 
and SEs to string, followed by -replace- to add the parentheses to the SEs 
and the significance marks to the estimates, followed by -reshape, long- to 
put the parenthesised SEs below the estimates. The resulting resultsset can 
then be output using -listtex-. However, I myself have never done this, 
because, in the  medical sector, most people prefer estimates with 
confidence limits, possibly followed by left-justified P-values to 2 
significant figures (Stata format %-8.2g) if there is enough space.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes

Roger
