Population SD

Mark A Davenport MADAVENP
All,

I have a student taking a measurement class and she asked if it was
possible for SPSS to provide a pop SD (denominator =N) rather than a
sample SD (denominator = N-1).  Obviously, she can calculate it using
syntax.  I was just wondering if there was some provision in a menu option
that provided such.
