My point is that I don't think you need to
write a program at all. This should yield
to an existing command. Much of the terrain
is surveyed in
SJ-3-4 pr0011 . . . . . . . . Speaking Stata: Problems with tables, Part II
Q4/03 SJ 3(4):420--439
reviews three user-written commands (tabcount, makematrix,
and groups) as different approaches to tabulation problems
SJ-3-3 pr0010 . . . . . . . . Speaking Stata: Problems with tables, Part I
Q3/03 SJ 3(3):309--324
presents ways of preparing material for tabulation
