Variable Types (CTABLES command)

The variables that are used in a table expression can be category variables, scale variables, or multiple response sets. Multiple response sets are defined by the MRSETS command and always begin with a $. Custom Tables uses the measurement level in the dictionary for the active data file to identify category and scale variables. You can override the default variable type for numeric variables by placing [C] or [S] after the variable name. Thus, to treat the category variable HAPPY as a scale variable and obtain a mean, you would specify

/TABLE HAPPY [S].
