SETS Subcommand (OVERALS command)

SETS specifies how many sets of variables exist and how many variables are in each set.

  • SETS is required and must follow the ANALYSIS subcommand.
  • SETS is followed by an integer to indicate the number of variable sets. Following this integer is a list of values in parentheses, indicating the number of variables in each set.
  • There must be at least two sets.
  • The sum of the values in parentheses must equal the number of variables specified on the ANALYSIS subcommand. The variables in each set are read consecutively from the ANALYSIS subcommand.

An example is as follows:

/SETS=2(2,3)

This specification indicates that there are two sets. The first two variables that are named on ANALYSIS are the first set, and the last three variables that are named on ANALYSIS are the second set.
