Basic Specification
The basic specification is the command name followed by a SELECT
subcommand
that contains and one or more subcommands that specify how you want
to change the output. For example:
OUTPUT MODIFY
/SELECT TABLES
/IF SUBTYPES=["Frequencies"]
/TABLECELLS SELECT=["Total"]
SELECTDIMENSION=ROWS
STYLE=BOLD APPLYTO=ROW.
- The
SELECT
subcommand specifies that the command applies only to pivot tables. - The
IF
subcommand specifies that the command applies only to the table subtype "Frequencies". - The
TABLECELLS
subcommand specifies that the font style of the row that contains the text "Total" should be bold.
Syntax Rules
- All subcommands except
SELECT
are optional. - If included, the
REPORT
subcommand must be the first subcommand. - Multiple blocks of specifications for different conditions can
be specified. Each block must begin with a
SELECT
subcommand. For more information, see the "Basic Operations" topic. - Subcommands other than
SELECT
can appear in any order.
