Hello Statalist,

I'm sure this is a very simply question for most of you.

I have two variables, Q43 and Q44.

Code:
* Example generated by -dataex-. To install: ssc install dataex
clear
input byte Q43

Just in case the data example should lead you to believe so, both variables are not just filled with missings, as you can see here

Code:
codebook Q43

         unique values:  4                        missing .:  5,934/7,963

            tabulation:  Freq.   Numeric  Label
                           341         1  Both parents working full time
                           718         2  One parent working full time and
                                          one parent working part time
                           948         3  One parent working full time and
                                          one parent not working outside
                                          the home
                            22        99  Refused
                         5,934         .

                  type:  numeric (byte)
                 label:  Q44

                 range:  [1,99]                       units:  1
         unique values:  4                        missing .:  6,297/7,963

            tabulation:  Freq.   Numeric  Label
                            86         1  The father
                           637         2  The mother
                           937         3  It doesn't matter which parent
                                          {#Q44_Insert2}
                             6        99  Refused
                         6,297         .
Now, I simply would like to have a table of those observations, where Q43=1 and Q44=.

For some reason, none of the commands I know with which I would like to do this are working, specifically tab, list, or count:

Code:
. tab Q43==1 if Q44==.
== invalid name
r(198);

. list Q43==1 if Q44==.
== invalid name
r(198);

. count Q43==1 if Q44==.
varlist not allowed
r(101);
I'm also not getting wiser through the help function for any of these commands.

Grateful for any help in overcoming this roadblock.
