st: re: total

[Kit Baum <baum@bc.edu>]

Martin complains that -total- (like -mean-, presumably) performs  
listwise deletion (unlike, say, -summarize-). To get around this:

--------------
clear all
sysuse auto
local mw price mpg rep78
foreach v of local mw {
	qui total `v'
	mat b = nullmat(b),e(b)
	mat en = nullmat(en), e(_N)
}
mat list b
mat list en
--------------
