st: matching by characteristics

Hello,
I have a dataset of around 1000 people and I want to see how much the sample
size diminishes by if I match the participants just by age, by age and
education, by age, education and gender and so on. I do want to do some
preliminary analyses on those matched people so I would like to store them in
same manner.
So, I am thinking of a table like this:
Matching Variable Sample size ID variable
Age XX id_a
Age & educ YY id_ae
.................
Is there any function in STATA which will accomplish this?
Thanks,
-Joey
