Paul,
I interpreted your message a bit differently to Gene.
Is the following what you want?
1) syntax to produce in-line sample data:
DATA LIST FREE/ group (A1) value.
BEGIN DATA
a 25
a 43
a 76
a 205
b 43
b 76
b 87
END DATA.
DATASET NAME groupdata.
AGGREGATE
/OUTFILE=*
MODE=ADDVARIABLES
/BREAK=group
/grpsize = NU(value).
EXE.
2) will produce the following output
group value grpsize
a 25 4
a 43 4
a 76 4
a 205 4
b 43 3
b 76 3
b 87 3
- not exactly what you described, but is this what you wanted?
Regards
Clive.
