Stata-sticions,

I have a string variable ("namestr") that was used to create a integer
variable ("name").  My dataset has 5000 cases each with a "name" identified.
The variable "name" has 1,200 unique values and accompanying labels.  I
created a new variable which stored the rowwise count of each of the names
across the dataset ("cname").

Code: 
encode namestr, gen(name)
bys name: egen cname = count(name)
label variable cname "count of cases per name"

For purposes of display I want to list the name, label, and count for only a
subset of the list of names (e.g., if cname>5).  I tried playing around with
"label list" and "tab1" but couldn't find the perfect combo to show me
everything I wanted.  Any advice?

Thanks, as always,

Ben
