VARSXX will list the distribution of selected background variable responses of cases within a specified group. It will print out a listing of all of the response values of the variable as well as the frequency of each response. If the "F" option is used the responses will be sorted on the frequency of the response, otherwise the responses will be sorted alpha-numerically.
Program Invocation
The specific syntax for program invocation varies between operating systems. This document diplays the code for the AIX version.
ssss: The study number opt: F Sort output based on frequency counts CDf: Input Case Data file VTf: Input Variable Titles file TFf: Input Task Factor file, required only if a group ID is specified
Variable Request Cards
These cards specify the variables to be distributed along with an optional membership mask. These cards are terminated with an "@eof" image or an end-of-file condition.
V: cc 01 The literal "V" vseq: cc 02-05 The variable sequence number gpid: cc 07-12 Group membership mask (optional, default GP0001)Example
@codap varsxx f ssss cd100 vt100 tf100 V0021 GP0005 V0021 ST0245 @EOF
This example will distribute the responses to background variable number 21 of all members of group GP0005, and stage ST0245. Because the "F" option is used, the responses will be sorted based on the frequency of the response rather then the response value itself.
