Many thanks for your response. I just tried this but the output only shows the display results and nothing from tabstat. Here is the output: . foreach i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 { 2. foreach y in male singlet{ 3. di "Var =`y' & GA=`i'" 4. capture noisily tabstat bwtg if myga==`i' & intab1==1 & admit_ic==1 & bwtg<., stat(n mean median p25 p75 min max ) by(`y') col(stat) f(%9.0g) notot nosep 5. } 6. } Var =male & GA=0 Var =singlet & GA=0 Var =male & GA=1 Var =singlet & GA=1 Var =male & GA=2 Var =singlet & GA=2 Var =male & GA=3 Var =singlet & GA=3 Var =male & GA=4 Var =singlet & GA=4 Var =male & GA=5 Var =singlet & GA=5 On Tue, Apr 27, 2010 at 11:51 AM, Maarten buis <maartenbuis@yahoo.co.uk> wrote: > --- On Tue, 27/4/10, sara khan wrote: >> In the command below, there are 0 observations when `i'=0 >> and `y'=male.
