FORMAT Subcommand (CTABLES command)

 /FORMAT MINCOLWIDTH={DEFAULT}  MAXCOLWIDTH={DEFAULT}
                     {value  }              {value  }

         UNITS={POINTS}   EMPTY= {ZERO   }   MISSING= {'.'    }
               {INCHES}          {BLANK  }            {'chars'}
               {CM    }          {'chars'}

The FORMAT subcommand controls the appearance of the table. At least one of the following attributes must be specified: MINCOLWIDTH, MAXCOLWIDTH, UNITS, EMPTY, or MISSING.

MINCOLWIDTH. The minimum width of columns in the table. This setting includes the main tables as well as any tables of significance tests. DEFAULT honors the column labels setting in the current TableLook. The value must be less than or equal to the setting for MAXCOLWIDTH.

MAXCOLWIDTH. The maximum width of columns in the table. This setting includes the main tables as well as any tables of significance tests. DEFAULT honors the column labels setting in the current TableLook. The value must be greater than or equal to the setting for MINCOLWIDTH.

UNITS. The measurement system for column width values. The default is POINTS. You can also specify INCHES or CM (centimeters). UNITS is ignored unless MINCOLWIDTH or MAXCOLWIDTH is specified.

EMPTY. Fill characters used when a count or percentage is zero. ZERO (the default) displays a 0 using the format for the cell statistic. BLANK leaves the statistic blank. You can also specify a quoted character string. If the string is too wide for the cell, the text is truncated. If FORMAT EMPTY=BLANK, there will be no visible difference between cells that have a count of 0 and cells for which no statistics are defined.

MISSING. Fill characters used when a cell statistic cannot be computed. This specification applies to non-empty cells for which a statistic, such as standard deviation, cannot be computed. The default is a period (.). You can specify a quoted string. If the string is too wide for the cell, the text is truncated.
