{title:Produce frequency tables for many values}

{title:Description}

{p}{cmd:bigtab} Can be used when you either get a "too many values" error from the {cmd:tabulate}
command, want a three-way crosstab, or want to save the frequencies to a separate file.
Up to three variables may be requested
{p_end}

{title:Options}

{p 0 4}{cmd:row}    will produce row percentages.{p_end}

{p 0 4}{cmd:col}    will prodcue column percentages.{p_end}

{p 0 4}{cmd:nocum}  will suppress display of cumulative frequencies and cumulative percents.{p_end}

{p 0 4}{cmd:zero}   specifies that combinations with frequency zero are wanted (see the {cmd:contract} command).{p_end}

{p 0 4}{cmd:nomiss} specifies that observations with missing values on any of the variables in varlist will be dropped. If not specified, all observations possible are used (see the {cmd:contract} command).{p_end}

{p 0 4}{cmd:saving()} specifies the name of an output data set.

{p 0 4}{cmd:sepby()} specifies where divider lines, if any, should be drawn.  Variables from {it:varlist} can be specified.  If this option is left out, then no divider lines will be drawn. (see the {cmd:list} command). {p_end}

{p 0 4}{cmd:alllab} specifies that all defined labels, even if not observed in the data should be included. {p_end}

{p 0 4}{cmd:nolabel} specifies that value labels should not be used in the display (see the list command).{p_end}
