You could do it with Python, but how about this -- use SPLIT FILE with Type. Then when making other tables you will have all of the tables split between each of the categories within Type.

[Jon Peck]

SPLIT FILES will iterate over values that actually occur in the split variable for the dataset, but to get separate tables for each value, use

SPLIT FILES SEPARATE x.

Otherwise you get a single table containing all the splits (which might be preferred anyway).

However, if the need is to run a bunch of procedures for each split so that all the output is grouped together for each split, then SPLIT FILES isn't the solution.  The SPSSINC SPLIT DATASET combined with SPSSINC PROCESS FILES extension commands generalized SPLIT FILES by allowing you to run an entire block of syntax for each split value, hence grouping the output by the split variable.

That would be my suggestion as well!
