t(100) specification

[Taz Raihan]

I have received the following request from one of our clients:

• PDF codebooks
  • Please use the t(100) specification in Stata so we can see a spread of the responses

I have no idea what t(100) specification means. Could somebody enlighten, please?

On the Stata codebook command that you used to create the material included in the PDF codebooks, use the tabulate(100) option — which your client called a "specification" rather than an option and abbreviated it to t(100) which only added to the confusion.
