-catplot- is a user-written program from SSC. When offered three variables it looks for their cross-combinations. But it seems that you want three separate frequency distributions to be juxtaposed. If that is so, then it is simplest to produce them separately and -combine- them as in sysuse auto catplot foreign, percent recast(bar) name(g1) catplot rep78, percent recast(bar) name(g2) graph combine g1 g2, ycommon except that in your case there would be three graphs. An alternative is to -reshape- your data so that the three variables are combined into one.
