Error in Help for CORRELATIONS command

Bruce Weaver

The Version 17 (for Windoze) Help file entry for the /MISSING sub-command of CORRELATIONS says:

• The PAIRWISE and LISTWISE keywords are alternatives; however, each can be specified with INCLUDE or EXCLUDE.

• The default is LISTWISE and EXCLUDE.


But the syntax chart says the default is PAIRWISE, not LISTWISE.  

CORRELATIONS VARIABLES= varlist [WITH varlist] [/varlist...]
 [/MISSING={PAIRWISE**}  [{INCLUDE}]]
           {LISTWISE  }   {EXCLUDE}
 [/PRINT={TWOTAIL**}  {SIG**}]
         {ONETAIL  }  {NOSIG}
 [/MATRIX=OUT({*                  })]
              {'savfile'|'dataset'}
 [/STATISTICS=[DESCRIPTIVES] [XPROD] [ALL]]

**Default if the subcommand is omitted.


Empirical observation tells me the syntax chart is correct--the default is PAIRWISE.
