OMS problem- a second problem

Cleland, Patricia (EDU)
Thanks to Richard Oliver from SPSS, I can now get OMS to work fine.
However, the output doesn't quite meet my needs.

I am running the same CTABLES command 4 times. The first time on the
entire data set, and the other three times selecting various subsets of
the data.  The goal is to produce a report that is a single table with
the results of all four CTABLES side by side.

When I run the CTABLES commands, each table is labelled 'Table 1' in the
Outline pane and in the data file that OMS produces. Since I want to use
Table number as the index in the CASESTOVARS, this causes a problem. The
workaround that I have been using it to go into the data set created by
OMS and change the Table numbers by hand for Tables 2-4. I recognize
that this is a potentially dangerous and error-prone 'solution'.

I would welcome any other, more automated, ways of doing this.

Re: OMS problem- a second problem

Peck, Jon
If you use the TITLES subcommand, you can give each table a unique identifier that will show up in the OMS Label_ variable.
