MICS4 Data Processing Workshop Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys Data Processing Workshop SPSS CTABLE command Overview

Creating tables using CTABLES command The Custom Tables procedure produces tables in one, two, or three dimensions and provides a great deal of flexibility for organizing and displaying the contents DIMENSIONS: –ROW –COLUMN –LAYER MICS4 Data Processing Workshop

Creating tables using CTABLES command CTABLES is available in the Custom Tables option Square brackets that are used in the CTABLES syntax chart are required parts of the syntax and are not used to indicate optional elements All subcommands except /TABLE are optional MICS4 Data Processing Workshop

Syntax convertor From TABLE to CTABLE: If you have command syntax files that contain TABLES syntax that you want to convert to CTABLES syntax a simple utility program is provided to help you get started with the conversion process. The conversion utility program, SyntaxConverter.exe, can be found in the installation directory. It is designed to run from a command prompt. The general form of the command is: syntaxconverter.exe [path]/inputfilename.sps [path]/outputfilename.sps MICS4 Data Processing Workshop

Syntax Converter Script (Windows Only) On Windows, you can also run the syntax converter with the script SyntaxConverter.wwd, located in the Samples directory of the installation directory. From the menus choose: Utilities Run Script... Navigate to the Samples directory and select SyntaxConverter.wwd. This will open a simple dialog box where you can specify the names and locations of the old and new command syntax files. MICS4 Data Processing Workshop
