SPSS Command TABLES

The TABLES procedure was deprecated 14 releases ago when CTABLES was introduced.  It was only left in the system so that legacy jobs that used it would still run.  I would strongly recommend that no new TABLES jobs be created.

CTABLES provides almost everything that TABLES could do and a lot more.  The only exception that anyone might notice is that CTABLES simplified the rather confusing percentage base functionality of TABLES and a few possibilities were thereby left out.

Dear List,

I have some old scripts using the command TABLES for creating a joint table
for several variables with similar value labels. The table looks like:

               Variable 1 ~ Variable 100
Common
value
labels

The syntax:

* Table of Frequencies.
 TABLES
 /FTOTAL $t 'Total'
 /FORMAT BLANK MISSING('.') /TABLES
 (LABELS) + $t BY
(VAR00001 + VAR00002 + ... + VAR00100)
 /STATISTICS COUNT ((F5.0) 'Count' ).

I would like to ask:
1. is there any documentation about this syntax? I would like to edit the
script so that the table includes the variable name (not just the variable
label).

2. is CTABLES a complete replacement of this TABLE? Can I do similar things
using CTABLES?

Thanks,
Alex
