Dear Jean:
Thanks a lot for your help. I tried your solution and it works perfectly.
May I add a related question: is there a way to use the same technique to get for each variable the total number of observations (see below):
yes no N
dummy1 12 43 55
dummy2 29 19 48
Best regards

Herv�,
If I understand you correctly, you want to obtain a tab-delimited file
that should look like the following:
yes no
dummy1 12 43
dummy2 29 19
...
If yes, here is one solution that works for me. It is based on the
-file- command, and will write the results into a file called
"DummyTable.txt"
file open dum using DummyTable.txt, write text replace
file write dum _tab "yes" _tab "no" _n
foreach v of varlist dummy* {
file write dum "`v'" _tab
count if `v' == 0
file write dum (r(N)) _tab
count if `v' == 1
file write dum (r(N)) _n
}
file close dum
type DummyTable.txt
I hope this helps,
jean
