I’ve just been working on a subset of variables from the 2008 GSS (NORC) used in Sweet and Grace-Martin. See: http://surveyresearch.weebly.com/sweet-and-grace-martin.html This was partly to familiarise myself with the data and partly to provide a commentary on my approach to new data sets (as feedback to the authors and also as a guide to students). I feel a complete plonker, but I’ve defined an MRSET for the NORC GSS 2008 data set, but can’t find a way to get frequencies from it. I’d already done it with MULT RESP. Am I barking up the wrong tree? mult resp groups proabort 'Pro-abortion when ...' (abany abdefect abhlth abnomore abpoor abrape (1)) /freq proabort.
* Define Multiple Response Sets. MRSETS /MDGROUP NAME=$abortpro LABEL='Yes when ...' CATEGORYLABELS=VARLABELS VARIABLES=ABANY ABDEFECT ABHLTH ABNOMORE ABPOOR ABRAPE VALUE=1 /DISPLAY NAME=[$abortpro].
OK Just done it myself with: Analyze > Mult Response: MULT RESPONSE GROUPS=$abortpro 'Total Yes responses' (abany abdefect abhlth abnomore abpoor abrape (1)) /FREQUENCIES=$abortpro.
but the confusion arose when FREQUENCIES and CROSSTABS were grayed out when defining the MRSET. AFAIK there’s nothing in the FM on this.

If you are using the old MR set methods,
the MR frequencies and crosstabs menu/dialog are necessarily disabled until
you have defined an MR set, since they would not have anything to use until
that is done.
If you use the CTABLE MR set mechanism, those are permanent Jon Peck (no "h") aka Kim Senior Software Engineer, IBM [hidden email] phone: 720-342-5621 From: John F Hall <[hidden email]> To: [hidden email], Date: 11/14/2013 07:26 AM Subject: [SPSSX-L] Frequencies for MRSETS Sent by: "SPSSX(r) Discussion" <[hidden email]> I’ve just been working on a subset of variables from the 2008 GSS (NORC) used in Sweet and Grace-Martin.
