David Kantor did hit it on the head--the size of the
weight is the problem. I have tried both Austin's and
David's suggestions, but the problem appears to be
with the -tabout- command; it appears to only accept
the strict "int" definition of frequency weights (ie,
integers less than 32740).
I will try working with -aweights-, but if anyone else
has ideas, please let me know.
Thanks,
jon

I think David Kantor identified your problem, but I
think you should,
in general, either round and then -recast- since
-recast- will
truncate (e.g. turn 3.9 into 3), or (possibly
better) specify your
weight as an [aweight] instead.
clear
input f
4
3.2
3.8
33735
end
recast int f, force
li
clear
input f
4
3.2
3.8
33735
end
replace f=round(f)
recast long f
li

The weights appear to be

compressing and reformatting but to no avail.
When I
try -recast int wgt-, it turns out that about 14
different observations would be changed, but I
can't
tell why. (If I try -recast int wgt, force- Stata
turns those observations into missings).
