VARIABLES Specification (MATRIX-END MATRIX command)

You can provide variable names for the matrix-format data file with the VARIABLES specification. The variable list is a list of valid variable names separated by commas. You can use the TO convention.

• The VARIABLES specification names only the data variables in the matrix. Split-file variables and grouping or factor variables are named on the SNAMES and FNAMES specifications.
• The names in the VARIABLES specification become the values of the special variable VARNAME_ in the matrix-format data file for rowtypes of CORR and COV.
• You cannot specify the reserved names ROWTYPE_ and VARNAME_ on the VARIABLES specification.
• If you omit the VARIABLES specification, the default names COL1, COL2, ..., etc., are used.
