Asdoc error in tabulation with Freq=1

[Rodrigo Badilla]

Hi all,

(apologies for my mistake in subject, i tried to fix but its not possible: Freq=1 mean r(r) = 1 or percent=100 )

I am having problems with asdoc when r(r) = 1 or percent=100. I know that sound a naive question but I am running a loop cycle with 3 way cross tabulation in a big number of variables and found this issue.
an example is:

set obs 100
gen var=1
tab var

        var |      Freq.     Percent        Cum.
------------+-----------------------------------
          1 |        100      100.00      100.00
------------+-----------------------------------
      Total |        100      100.00


. ret li

scalars:
                  r(N) =  100
                  r(r) =  1

with asdoc

asdoc tab var


        var |      Freq.     Percent        Cum.
------------+-----------------------------------
          1 |        100      100.00      100.00
------------+-----------------------------------
      Total |        100      100.00
             tabonevar():  3200  conformability error
                 <istmt>:     -  function returned error
r(3200);

Please any comment i would grateful

I just want to give credit to Attaullah Shah who has written asdoc (from ssc).

(Of couse asdoc its great! make my work more easy!)

As I mentioned earlier my goal is make multiple cross tables...

I fix the error when r(r) = 1. The solution its no so elegant but work.

sysuse auto, clear
gen var= 1
set more off
foreach y of varlist foreign var  make {
tab `y'  
if `r(r)' ==1  {
 asdoc, text(\b Error in frequency table for `y'   ... :(  )
}
 else  {
 asdoc tab `y'  
}
}

it give a word doc with:

Tabulation of foreign

Domestic	52	70.27	70.27
Foreign	22	29.73	100.00
Total	74	100.00

Error in frequency table for var...



Tabulation of make

> Cum.

AMC Concord	1	1.35

AMC Spirit	1	1.35

Audi 5000	1	1.35

Rebecca Water Thanks for your kind words.
