ID Subcommand (EXAMINE command)

ID assigns a variable from the active dataset to identify the cases in the output. By default the case number is used for labeling outliers and extreme cases in boxplots.

  • The identification variable can be either string or numeric. If it is numeric, value labels are used to label cases. If no value labels exist, the values are used.
  • Only one identification variable can be specified.

Example

EXAMINE VARIABLES=SALARY BY RACE BY SEX /ID=LASTNAME.
  • ID displays the value of LASTNAME for outliers and extreme cases in the boxplots.
