Firstly, thanks to Austin Nichols for his response to my Cumulative
Risk/Life tables query.

This follows the same basic theme.  I have 1341 records in a cohort of
which 41 suffer a second cancer.  I  have calculated a value using date
of entry to risk and date of exit (or second cancer), exit-entry, in
years (/365.25) and stored as a variable 'intvlexityrs'.  The censor
variable (existence of a second cancer) is a variable 'censvar'

I then -stset- the data:

stset intvlexityrs, failure(censvar)

-sts list- then produces an extensive life table as you would expect.
So I use at() as required.  For each year:

-sts list, at(0(1)49)-

All records enter at time 0.  The last observed exit is 48.19712.

I was asked if it was possible to store the resulting values from this
revised life table as variables, i.e. Time, Beg. Total, Fail, Survivor
function, Std. Error and 95% Confidence intervals.  I was not sure of
the answer.  Can -sts generate- provide what I want?  A working example
or a push in the right direction would be most useful.

Regards,

Dave
