Variable Lists (VALIDATEDATA command)

You must specify VARIABLES, ID, or CROSSVARRULES.

VARIABLES Keyword

The VARIABLES list specifies analysis variables to be validated.

• Specify one or more analysis variables. ALL and TO can be used to refer to all variables or a range of variables, respectively.
• Repeated instances of the same variable are filtered out of the list.
• Rule outcome variables are filtered out of the list.

ID Keyword

The ID list specifies case ID variables to be validated. ID variables are also used to label casewise output.

• Specify one or more variables. If two or more ID variables are specified, the combination of their values is treated as a case identifier.
• Repeated instances of the same variable are filtered out of the list.
• Rule outcome variables are filtered out of the list.

CROSSVARRULES Keyword

The CROSSVARRULES keyword specifies cross-variable rules to be summarized.

• Specify one or more cross-variable rules of the form $VD.CRule[n], where n is a positive integer. Alternatively, you can provide a list of integers, where 1 means $VD.CRule[1], 2 means $VD.CRule[2], etc.
• The list accepts the keyword ALL, which signifies all cross-variable rules recorded in the data dictionary.
• Repeated instances of the same rule are filtered out of the list.
• A warning occurs if a specified rule does not exist. The rule is ignored.
