percentiles as variables?

[Karen Powers]

Hello,
Is there a way to get percentile cut-points as new variables - not just listed in the output?  I would like to use the numbers, and have been typing them into my syntax manually from the output.
I have been using:

FREQUENCIES
  VARIABLES= var1
  /NTILES=  4
  /ORDER=  ANALYSIS .

Thank you for any hints about doing this.

Look at the Rank procedure.
