/CATEGORIESVARIABLES=variables {[value,value...]| [ORDER={A|D}] [KEY={VALUE|LABEL| summary(variable)}] [MISSING={EXCLUDE|INCLUDE}]} [TOTAL={NO|YES} [LABEL=string] [POSITION={AFTER|BEFORE}]] [EMPTY={INCLUDE|EXCLUDE}]
The CATEGORIES subcommand specifies, for one or more
categorical variables, the categories to include and exclude, the sort
order for included categories, and treatment of missing values. It
also controls the totals and subtotals to display. It may be
specified any number of times, each time for a different set of
variables. CATEGORIES applies to the table produced by the
TABLE subcommand that it follows.
CATEGORIES does not apply to scalar variables.
VARIABLES is required and must list the variables for the subcommand
to affect.
The syntax may specify the categories to include and their sort order
either explicitly or implicitly. The following sections give the
details of each form of syntax, followed by information on totals and
subtotals and the EMPTY setting.
