see MULT RESPONSE under <help> .  It sound like the FREQUENCIES
specification is what you want.


Is this what you want?

This is a comparimeter table and can be produced with the Tables Module. To
create it, make sure all five variables have the same value labels. Move
them to the columns and change the dropdown at the bottom right to Column
Labels in rows. This produces syntax that looks like this:

CTABLES
  /VLABELS VARIABLES=obey popular thnkself workhard helpoth DISPLAY=LABEL
  /TABLE BY obey [COUNT F40.0] + popular [COUNT F40.0] + thnkself [COUNT
F40.0] + workhard [COUNT
    F40.0] + helpoth [COUNT F40.0]
  /CLABELS COLLABELS=OPPOSITE
  /CATEGORIES VARIABLES=obey popular thnkself workhard helpoth ORDER=A
KEY=VALUE EMPTY=INCLUDE
    MISSING=EXCLUDE.

The important things here are that all the variables are appended to each
other by the "+" operator and the /CLABELS command flips the values to the
rows.

Without the Tables Module, the OP would need to restructure the file using
VARSTOCASES to create an INDEX variable mapping to the 5 variables in the
columns.
