REPORT Command Additional Features

The command syntax language also allows you to:

  • Display different summary functions in the columns of a single summary line.
  • Insert summary lines into data columns for variables other than the data column variable or for various combinations (composite functions) of summary functions.
  • Use Median, Mode, Frequency, and Percent as summary functions.
  • Control more precisely the display format of summary statistics.
  • Insert blank lines at various points in reports.
  • Insert blank lines after every nth case in listing reports.

Because of the complexity of the REPORT syntax, you may find it useful, when building a new report with syntax, to approximate the report generated from the dialog boxes, copy and paste the corresponding syntax, and refine that syntax to yield the exact report that you want.
