Yes, isn't the command syntax cryptic. I don't know how difficult it was to
develop the command syntax for Genlinmixed but why is it so complex. I'd be
curious to know how it compares to sas or stata or mlwin or hlm. Mplus is
trivially simple in comparison. It makes me wonder if spss bought the
routine from somebody and had to build the command syntax to accommodate the
routine. That same question comes up too for the cryptically named Plum and
and for Nomreg. Everywhere else spss has a somewhat standard command
structrure syntax.

When I first read the question, I wasn't sure what the problem was. But
then, I've not yet had the pleasure of taking GENLINMIXED out for a test
drive. A quick glance at the FM (i.e., the "fine manual", as in RTFM)
/suggests/ that rather than using the "BY factor WITH covariate" method,
GENLINMIXED uses the variable levels to distinguish between factors (nominal
& ordinal) and covariates (scale). Perhaps someone who has used GENLINMIXED
can confirm.
