Thanks Nick for your help. Sorry for the delayed response.

I used -tabout- (SSC) following Ian Watson's tutorial. I found the
error resulted from me splitting and running the command below in two
separate lines which stata could not understand:

 tabout size age using table1.txt, replace cells(fcount fper fcum)
format(%9.0fc %9.1f %9.2f)

Running the command in a single line, I got an error message about an
invalid entry in the cells option, after which I found a more recent
tutorial online with changes in the second line of the syntax which
worked:

tabout  size age using table1.txt, cells(freq col cum) format(0 1 1) replace

Problem is all sorted now. The regression tip also worked.


Best Regards,

Alice
