I don't know Stata, and I don't know if I understand your question.
Consider the following:
> (AList <- as.list(rep(letters[1:3], 2))
+ )
[[1]]
[1] "a"
[[2]]
[1] "b"
[[3]]
[1] "c"
[[4]]
[1] "a"
[[5]]
[1] "b"
[[6]]
[1] "c"
> (unlist(AList))
[1] "a" "b" "c" "a" "b" "c"
> table(unlist(AList))
a b c
2 2 2
