Percentile calculations differ between basic and custom tables

Troubleshooting


Problem

After running a General table with percentiles, I tried running the same table with percentiles with the Custom Tables (CTABLES) module. I noticed that the percentiles vary between the two procedures. Is this a defect in CTABLES regarding Percentile calculation?
