-tabm- is a convenience command that temporarily restructures the data: it maps several variables to one, provides a cross-tabulation of original variables and values, and then returns the dataset to where it was. So, a direct consequence of what it does is that nothing much is left behind of consequence. But once you have -reshape-d, as is needed for the graphics, you can use any tabulation command on the equivalent results that works with what you want. -estpost- and -esttab- are user-written commands. Please remember the permanent and longstanding request to explain where user-written commands that you refer to come from. Nick n.j.cox@durham.ac.uk Jörg Eulenberger Thanks a lot Nick, it works fine. But how can i put the tabm-results automatic (syntax) to a rtf-file? tabm dosn't work with estpost and esttab.
