st: Re: Generating comparison/contingency tables

The dataset employed in the pdf is not a survey dataset as such- it is 
turned into one on page 29 via

-gen wt = int(uniform()*10)-


and, by implication,

-svyset wt-

which sort of tricks Stata into thinking it is dealing with survey data, 
although the weights are pure noise.

I think you could do the same to your data...
