As long as the results of the estimation command have not been overwritten,
you can also use -e(sample)- itself...

Subject: st: How do I keep the same sample size without deleting cases?
*****
Hi everybody,
I am a new stata user, so excuse me for my ignorance...I am using
panel data and I want to do my descriptive analysis and my exploratory
analysis having (of course) the same number of observations. I first rum
my prbot model and then I make tables with means using e(sample in my "if"
statement and everything goes well. However when I do crostabs (using ta
or table) the number of observations is different (higher to be exact). I
have observed, while making the means tables, that when I dont include in
my descriptives all the variables used in the probit model then the sample
size changes. How can I keep the sample size the same without deleting the
missings?
Thank you for your understanding,
Dimitris Souftas
