st: Cross Tabulation with more than 2 variables

Dear readers of Statalist,
Maybe I just have not found the right command, or the right keyword. But
since I frequently encountered the problem, I hope someone might point
me to a convenient solution. I want to do cross tabulation for more than
2 variables.
This time, I have summary data about papers that I cannot include in a
meta-study. There is a list of 10 reasons why I had to exclude them.
Some papers are excluded for more than one reason. I have dummy coded
these reasons. I therefore have a dataset of the following form
r1 r2 r3 ... r10
study1 0 1 0 ... 0
study2 1 0 1 0
study3 0 0 1 1
I want to generate a table that looks like this
r1 r2 r3 ... r10
r1 5 0 2 0
r2 2 4 0 0
...
I thus want to say, how often a study had to be excluded for reason 1
alone, or because it simultaneously suffered from reason 1 and reason 10
(or any other reason).
Is there a good way to do this? In principle, corr needs this
information, but you do not get sums. tab2 provides the information, but
does not collect it in one table.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Best
Christoph Engel
