-listmissing- as specified takes options of -list-, which gives you some
scope for tuning what is displayed.
It would be quite easy to add your own option to -list- other variables
too. As you say, the best way to get exactly what you want is, long
term, to program it yourself.

Thanks Nicks
This is similar to the Maarten's first solution (albeit without using
-nmissing-). However, what I really wanted was
1. Identify and list the variables that are missing (your -listmissing-
proposed below does this)
2. However, restrict the maximum number of variables listed per batch to
5 (fits the display)
3. To be able to list some other variables in addition to the missing
cases (such as the unit identifier e.g
-listmissing idcode -
idcode age educ
1 0 .
2 . 1
For now, Maartens code has been the [expletive deleted]. However, I can
see much promise in marrying the two. I can also see that
it is finally time for me to do that which I have put off for forever,
start doing some stata programming. Guess it is
time to enroll in a netcourse
