SPSS® 12.0 Command Syntax Reference

326 CROSSTABS
to reproduce tables and compute statistics. When WRITE is specified, an Output File
Summary table is displayed before all other tables.
• The only specification is a single keyword.
• The name of the file must be specified on the PROCEDURE OUTPUT command preceding
CROSSTABS.
• If both CELLS and ALL are specified, CELLS is in effect and only the contents of non-empty
cells are written to the file.
• If you include missing values with INCLUDE or REPORT on MISSING, no values are considered
missing and all non-empty cells, including those with missing values, are written,
even if CELLS is specified.
• If you exclude missing values on a table-by-table basis (the default), no records are written
for combinations of values that include a missing value.
• If multiple tables are specified, the tables are written in the same order as they are
displayed.
NONE Do not write cell counts to a file. This is the default.
CELLS Write cell counts for non-empty and nonmissing cells to a file. Combinations
of values that include a missing value are not written to the file.
ALL Write cell counts for all cells to a file. A record for each combination of
values defined by VARIABLES and TABLES is written to the file. ALL is available
only in integer mode.
The file contains one record for each cell. Each record contains the following:
Columns Contents
1–4 Split-file group number, numbered consecutively from 1. Note that this is not
the value of the variable or variables used to define the splits.
5–8 Table number. Tables are defined by the TABLES subcommand.
9–16 Cell frequency. The number of times this combination of variable values
occurred in the data, or, if case weights are used, the sum of case weights for
cases having this combination of values.
17–24 The value of the row variable (the one named before the first BY).
25–32 The value of the column variable (the one named after the first BY).
33–40 The value of the first control variable (the one named after the second BY).
41–48 The value of the second control variable (the one named after the third BY).
49–56 The value of the third control variable (the one named after the fourth BY).
57–64 The value of the fourth control variable (the one named after the fifth BY).
65–72 The value of the fifth control variable (the one named after the sixth BY).
73–80 The value of the sixth control variable (the one named after the seventh BY).
