Hello,

I have a df, pp, with five variables:

> nobs(pp)
  q10_1   q10_2   q10_3   q10_4 actcode 
   1620    1620    1620    1620    1620 

I want to create a loop to run four xtabs (the first four variables above by 
the fifth) and then store the results in a matrix.  Below I make my intent 
clear by showing the output of one xtab which is inserted into a matrix.

> a <- xtabs(q10_1 ~ actcode)
> a
actcode
 1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 
 7 11  3 60 66 56 21 40  7  8 

> freq.mat <- matrix(0, 4, 10, byrow = TRUE)
> freq.mat[1,] <- a
> freq.mat
     [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] [,8] [,9] [,10]
[1,]    7   11    3   60   66   56   21   40    7     8
[2,]    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0     0
[3,]    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0     0
[4,]    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0     0
===============================================================
I have spent a couple of hours searching the web and my texts but continue to 
strike out in my attempts to construct a correct formulation of this simple 
loop. Help would be appreciated.
