OK if that's what you want. Note that the code will crash if string variables are included in the data and assumes that no variable has name longer than 9 characters and that no number to be displayed is >9999.

Thanks Nick.

I wrote the following code for a neater presentation of the different
kind of missings.

foreach var of varlist _all {
  qui count if `var'==.a
  local m_ `r(N)'
  qui count if `var'==.a
  local m_a `r(N)'
  qui count if `var'==.b
  local m_b `r(N)'
  di `"`var':"' _col(10)`"`m_'"' _col(15) `"`m_a'"' _col(20)`"`m_b'"'
  }
 }
