-tabulate- does all sorts of things. If you wish to
save frequencies to a data file, check out -contract-
(having first -save-d your data).

I can see no reason why that shouldn't work,
provided that you have previously
. sort var1 var2
and that -var1 var2 var3- are variables in your
data.
As before, you can
. contract var1 var2 var3
. save freq
