Hello, SPSS friends,
  I'm currently investigating the SPSSINC MODIFY TABLES command.
There are some issues regarding the examples delivered with the /HELP subcommand
that makes it difficult for me to follow the syntax logic (see below for two issues).
Is there an updated version of this commands' documentation?

Example 1:
LOGISTIC REGRESSION <syntax for logistic>.
SPSS MODIFY TABLES SUBTYPE='variables in the equation' COLUMNS= 2 3 'Upper'.

=> it should be SPSSINC MODIFY TABLES
=> There is no "COLUMNS" keyword, according to the syntax chart

Example 2:
DISCRIMINANT <syntax for discriminant>
SPSS MODIFY TABLES SUBTYPE="Group Statistics", COLUMNS="Unweighted"
/WIDTHS WIDTHS=50 ROWLABELS=-1 ROWLABELWIDTHS=40.
=> There is a comma after the SUBTYPE definition?!

Syntax chart:
SPSS MODIFY TABLES SUBTYPE=subtypes SELECT=list of columns or rows to operate on
    [PROCESS={PRECEDING* | ALL}
    [DIMENSION={COLUMNS* | ROWS}]
    [LEVEL=number]
    [HIDE={TRUE|FALSE}
    [REGEXP={NO*|YES}]
    [PRINTLABELS={YES|NO*}]
[/WIDTHS [WIDTHS=list-of-widths] [ROWLABELS=list of row label numbers]
    [ROWLABELVALUES=list of widths]]
[/STYLES [TEXTSTYLE={REGULAR|BOLD|ITALIC|BOLDITALIC}]
    [TEXTCOLOR=RGB values]
    [BACKGROUNDCOLOR=RGB values]
    [CUSTOMFUNCTION="module.function" ...]
    [TLOOK="filespec"]
    [APPLYTO={BOTH* | LABELS | DATACELLS| True/False expression}]
[/HELP].

Thanks,
  Mario
