Weirdly, I seem to have updated -tablecol- in March to fix this, but never sent the updated file to the SSC archives. I have done so, it should be posted in due course.

If anyone needs the updated version immediately, just email me directly and I'll send it along ([email protected]).

And definitely don't run with scissors.

Option 1, for me, is the programming equivalent of running with scissors. I shall pursue option 2.
Thanks!

It's a fixable bug. Clone the program
and edit the clone, or ask Nick Winter very nicely to fix it
at his convenience.

Thanks, Nick, for this clarification. The way my luck has
been running, I'm guessing there's no workaround, but I can
always cut-and-paste my tabular results and work from
there.
Again, thanks to you and to David for your time and
expertise.

That's a small bug. A call to
-tablecol- with -nofreq- option will result in that
option
being passed direct to -tabdisp-, which is illegal.
The
intent was that the -nofreq- call  would be trapped
but
it's not specified as a separate option in the
-syntax-
statement.

Thank you, David. This puts me pretty much where I
want to
be. -tabulate- does not accept noninteger weights, so
that's
a nonstarter; I was a little surprised to see that
-tablecol- does not appear to support the nofreq
option
(documentation notwithstanding). But I'll iterate on
this
... thanks for putting me in a good starting
position.

If you like the -table- format, try
Nick Winter's -tablecol-, available
from SSC.

You can instead use the official -tabulate-
commands,
but
then you forgo
some other features.

At present, I have this instruction:

.table POVLL MCAID [pw=MARSUPWT] ,
f(%14.0fc)
row

In place of the count in each table cell, I
would
like
to see the column
percentage. I suspect there is a simple
command
or
option that does
this,
but for the life of me I cannot find it.
