Leonor,
you told us what you did but not what you want to achieve. You
mentioned tabulation. What information do you want to display, and
how? There might be an easy way to do it, other than nested -cond()-
statements.
Speaking of which, you are lacking the b in -cond(x,a,b)- in your
outer -cond- statement. See -help cond-. Maybe
gen col = cond(pension == 1,cond(jub == 1, 1, 2),0)
is what you want? It will create a variable that is equal to 1 if
pension==1 and jub==1, equal to 2 if pension==1 and jub !=1, and zero
otherwiese. Note that the above does not account for missing values in
either pension or jub.
Hope this helps,
Eva
