Generating the categories and values for categorical variables

[Johnny Amora]

Dear all,

I have 30 categorical variables with 2 to 10 categories for each variable.  I want to produce outputs showing the values used and categories for each variable.  For example, suppose the variables are gender(1=male,2=female), marital (1=single, 2=maried, 3=widowed), and Religion(1=Catholic, 2=others).  Then I want ourputs like as follows:

Gender       1=male
                 2=female

Marital       1=single
                 2=married
                 3=separated
Religion     1=Catholic
                2=others

How to generate such outputs for the 30 variables using syntax or point-click.

Thank you.
Johnny

hi!

You can use DISPLAY DICTIONARY for that. Have a look in the syntax guide for further specifications.

If you just want the dictionary information, Display Dictionary works fine.  If you want the output to include unlabelled values (and some simple summary statistics) use the CODEBOOK built-in command or the older CODEBOOK extension command.
