One solution is to -collapse- the data, but that destroys
your data structure. One solution to _that_ is to
. preserve
. collapse ...
. restore
and the help for -collapse- would let you fill in the dots.
A solution I would prefer would be
. table year, c(sum total sum age0)
This does not create the new variables you mentioned.
I guess that you only want those as a means to an
end. If not, use -egen, sum()-.
