How to automate the generation of CTABLES command syntax for series of tables with varying sets of variables

Question & Answer


Question

I'm using SPSS for Windows Custom Tables to generate a series of tables. Each table has a single categorical variable in the banner and a set of scale variables stacked in the stub. I need a couple of summary statistics generated for the scale variables. The question is that while the basic structure of the table will always remain the same, I have several different sets of scale variables which must be "tabled" against a varying list of categoricals -- ultimately I have hundreds of tables to generate. Is there a way I can automate this?
