Dear Joshua,
the problem occurs in Stata 9.2 and 11.0 too. But most probably it is
because the option -over- is not documented for svy:tab. Does it
exist?
Perhaps this is what you want to obtain:
svy:tab age job_type, col
or this:
svy:mean age, over(job_type)
Here is an example (of working and not working commands):
webuse nlsw88
svyset [pw=grade]
svy:tab age occup, col
svy:mean age, over(occup)
svy:tab age, over(occup)
Best wishes, Sergiy Radyakin
