Decimals in tables

Keefer, Robert P.
I'm having a problem with a relatively simple table.  If you issues the following command (in SPSS 16):

FREQUENCIES VARIABLES=q1 q2
  /STATISTICS=MEAN
  /ORDER=ANALYSIS.

...you get what you'd expect, and the means will have two decimal places:

        Statistics
                        q1      q2
        N Valid 26      26
        Missing 0       0
        Mean    3.42    2.85

However, if you change to ORDER=VARIABLE, you get

        Statistics
                        q1
        N Valid 26
        Missing 0
        Mean    3

Now, I can go in and reformat the cell so that I get two decimal places, but on a large production run this is more than tedious.  I can't find any menu or syntax to help here.  Can anyone tell me how to get the non-rounded off values in this simple table?
