VARIABLE ALIGNMENT

VARIABLE ALIGNMENT specifies the alignment of data values in the Data Editor. It has no effect on the format of the variables or the display of the variables or values in other windows or printed results.

VARIABLE ALIGNMENT varlist ({LEFT  }) ... [/varlist...]
                            {CENTER}
                            {RIGHT }

This command takes effect immediately. It does not read the active dataset or execute pending transformations. See the topic Command Order for more information.

Example

VARIABLE ALIGNMENT sales95 sales96 (LEFT)    
  /id gender (RIGHT).

Variable alignment can also be specified from the Variable View tab.
