Use -tabm- from -tab_chi- (SSC) to get a table.
Look at -egen-'s -anycount()- function to calculate the count variables.

Hi
I have three variables coded 1 to 15, where the meaning of each of  
the codes is consistent across the three variables, what I would  
like to do is to produce output which uses information across all of  
the variables and gives me the number of time  value 1, value 2 etc  
occurs across the three variables
If possible I would also like to generate a variable (possibly in a  
new dataset) which contains this info
