This discussion is useful. I think, I have done the right thing. But let me confirm with the experts here.

So I am analysing woman's questionnaire - specifically, the section where questions are asked to married women about partner's education and occupation. Hence, one has to use women weight variable.

In this case, I have used the commands of the following nature:

tab2 VARx VARy if (some condition added) [fweight=v005], column OR
tab2 VARx VARy if (some condition added) [fweight=v005s], column OR

Both weights give me the same results. And as pointed out, the abs # of frequencies are quite high. But it's the % which are imp. in this case.

Am I right?
