    Analyze > Complex Samples > Select a Sample...

  8. In the Finish step, select Paste the syntax generated by the Wizard into a syntax window.
  9. Click Finish.

The following syntax is generated:

* Sampling Wizard.
CSSELECT
 /PLAN FILE='demo.csplan'
 /CRITERIA STAGES = 3 SEED = 4231946
 /CLASSMISSING EXCLUDE
 /DATA RENAMEVARS
 /PRINT SELECTION.

Printing the sampling summary in this case produces a cumbersome table that causes problems in the Output Viewer. To turn off display of the sampling summary, replace SELECTION with CPS in the PRINT subcommand. Then run the syntax within the syntax window.

These selections draw a sample according to the third stage of the demo.csplan sampling plan.
