TABLES Subcommand (SUMMARIZE command)

TABLES specifies the dependent and control variables.

  • You can specify multiple TABLES subcommands on a single SUMMARIZE command.
  • For FORMAT=LIST or VALIDLIST, only one TABLES subcommand is allowed. Multiple dependent and control variables add more breaks to the Listing Report. Total statistics are displayed at the end for each combination that is defined by different values of the control variables.
  • For FORMAT=NOLIST, which is the default, each use of keyword BY adds a dimension to the requested table. Total statistics are displayed with each group.
  • The order in which control variables are displayed is the same as the order in which they are specified on TABLES. The values of the first control variable that is defined for the table appear in the leftmost column of the table and change the most slowly in the definition of groups.
  • Statistics are displayed for each dependent variable in the same report.
  • More than one dependent variable can be specified in a table list, and more than one control variable can be specified in each dimension of a table list.
