VARIABLES Subcommand (MVA command)

A list of variables or the keyword ALL is required.

• The order in which the variables are listed determines the default order in the output.
• If the keyword ALL is used, the default order is the order of variables in the active dataset.
• String variables that are specified in the variable list, whether short or long, are automatically defined as categorical. For a long string variable, only the first eight characters of the values are used to distinguish categories.
• The list of variables must precede all other subcommands.
• Multiple lists of variables are not allowed.
