Thanks for the tip.

Shahrul,
As SPSS understands Stata quite well, it is not a hassle to switch, but of course to do everything in Stata is the goal...
I would be very happy to have a look at your programme. I do not find your e-mail address so I would be happy if you can sent me a message to kaulisch at forschungsinfo.de

Betreff: Re: st: Spss vs Stata
I find that it is more time consuming to keep switching programs to build tables etc. Having a structured table ready for publication is always ideal.
Because normally creating pivot tables for example creating something from a
-tab- output is common, it is best to spend a few hours to write a programme to do this.
I've written a simple program to build table in .rtf format to give such tables in an .rtf file (although may need further formatting to make it look pretty in word). Happy to share. E-mail me if you'd like a copy of this program as I don't think I can send it as attachment here.
The output looks somewhat like this [% (n)] (xx=masked figures as come from ongoing study):
Female Male
0 xx.92 (xx) xx.61 (xx)
1 xx.42 (xx) xx.28 (x)
2 xx.25 (xx) xx.77 (xx)
3 xx.42 (xx) xx.51 (xx)
A small tinkering using the same principles, you can achieve something like below (as a table but might not print properly here):
com commis gps gpsmis
No randomised xx xx
Males (m/f) xx.x (xx/xx) 0 xx.x (xx/xx) 0
Age(yrs) 0 0
Mean(sd) xx.5 (xx.4) xx.4 (xx.0)
Med(IQR) xx.1 (xx.6-xx.0) xx.7 (xx.0-xx.8)
Hypertension xx.0 (xx) 0 xx.7 (xx) 0
Fam hist of diabetes xx.5 (xx) 0 xx.1 (xx) 0

if I am wrong) only one column variable (but multiple row variables).
