CODEBOOK reports the dictionary information -- such as variable names, variable labels, value labels, missing values -- and summary statistics for all or specified variables and multiple response sets in the active dataset.

Note: Square brackets used in the CODEBOOK syntax chart are required parts of the syntax and are not used to indicate optional elements. Equals signs (=) used in the syntax chart are required elements. All subcommands are optional.
