This error means that one of your variables has too many values -- it's most likely 'factor' (I assume 'double' variable means it is stored as double format?). If you try -tab factor- you'll get the same result.
'factor' will need to be recoded into some manageable number of categories in order to include it in the -table-.
If this is not the issue then please provide more information (at minimum, -describe- and -tabulate- your 3 variables of interest).
- Eric
