SPSS® 12.0 Command Syntax Reference

SUBTYPES Keyword
OMS 1115
The SUBTYPES keyword restricts the selection to the specified table types The keyword
SUBTYPES must be followed by an equals sign (=) and a list of quoted subtype identifiers
enclosed in square bracket, as in:
OMS
/SELECT TABLES
/IF SUBTYPES = [’Descriptive Statistics’ ’Coefficients’]
/DESTINATION...
• Subtypes only apply to tables that would be displayed as pivot tables in the Viewer.
• Like command identifiers, subtype identifiers are not case-sensitive and are not subject to
translation.
• Unlike command identifiers, subtype identifiers are not necessarily unique. For example,
multiple commands produce a table with the subtype identifier ’Descriptive Statistics,’
but not all of those tables share the same structure. If you only want a particular table type
for a particular command, use both the COMMANDS and SUBTYPES keywords.
• A complete list of subtype identifiers is provided in “Command and Subtype Identifiers”
on p. 1136. You can also obtain the identifier for a particular table by generating output
from the command in the Viewer and then right-clicking outline item for the Table in the
outline pane of the Viewer and selecting Copy OMS Table Subtype from the context
menu. The identifiers are generally fairly descriptive of the particular table type.
LABELS Keyword
The LABELS keyword selects particular output objects according to the text displayed in the
outline pane of the Viewer. The keyword LABELS must be followed by an equals sign (=) and
a list of quoted label text enclosed in square brackets, as in:
OMS
/SELECT TABLES
/IF LABELS = [’Job category * Gender Crosstabulation’]
/DESTINATION...
The LABELS keyword is useful for differentiating between multiple graphs or multiple tables
of the same type in which the outline text reflects some attribute of the particular ouput object
such as the variable names or labels. There are, however, a number of factors that can affect
the label text:
• If split file processing is on, split file group identification may be appended to the label.
• Labels that include information about variables or values are affected by the OVARS and
ONUMBERS settings on the SET command.
• Labels are affected by the current output language setting (SET OLANG).
INSTANCES Keyword
The INSTANCES subcommand selects the nth instance of an object matching the other criteria
on the IF subcommand within a single command execution. The keyword INSTANCES must
