You might find -tabstatmat- helpful; some users like a marriage of
-tabstatmat- and -xlm_tab- very useful. Both are available from SSC
and easily acessible via -findit-. The -collapse- option is a good
one, with the -fast- option, especially after first -preserve-ing your
data, possibly with a -tabdisp- at the end. But my personal favorite
is to calculate results one by one in a -foreach- loop, and use -file-
to write results to a file as I go; see e.g.
