Dear Margaret:
I thank you for your reply. I tried your solution. However, I have a problem with the first three scalars which do not show up in the return list. Consequently, when I generate the first three variables (e.g., odds), I only get missing values. Would you have any idea?
Best regards
Herve

Here's a very clunky example of how to get a tab-delimited file of the
results of tabodds. Note that if you are doing multiple tabodds
commands, using "postfile" with scalars would make this a bit more elegant.
webuse bdesop,clear
tabodds case alcohol [fw=freq]
*** Assign the return codes to variables
gen odds=r(odds)
gen lb_odds=r(lb_odds)
gen ub_odds=r(ub_odds)
gen chi2_hom=r(chi2_hom)
gen p_hom=r(p_hom)
gen df_hom=r(df_hom)
gen chi2_tr=r(chi2_tr)
gen p_trend=r(p_trend)
*** Keep only the first observation
keep if _n==1
*** Fix up p-values for readability
replace p_hom=0.0001 if p_hom<.0001
replace p_trend=0.0001 if p_trend<.0001
*** output the results to a tab-delimited file
outsheet odds lb_odds ub_odds chi2_hom p_hom df_hom chi2_tr p_trend
using test.txt, replace
If you don't need all the variables, just use the ones you need.
