SPSS® 12.0 Command Syntax Reference

CTABLES 399
CORNER Corner text. Corner text appears in the corner cell of the table, above row titles and
next to column titles. Multiple lines can be specified. Each line must be quoted.
Pivot tables show all corner text that fits in the corner cell. The specified text is
ignored if the table has no corner cell.
The system default TableLook uses the corner area for display of row dimension
labels. To display CTABLES corner text, the Row Dimension Labels setting in Table
Properties should be set to Nested. This choice can be preset in the default
TableLook.
TITLE Title text. The title appears above the table. Multiple lines can be specified. Each
line must be quoted.
The following symbols can be used within any caption, corner text, or title line. Each must
be specified using an opening right parenthesis and all uppercase letters.
)DATE Current date. Displays a locale-appropriate date stamp that includes the year,
month, and day.
)TIME Current time. Displays a locale-appropriate time stamp.
)TABLE Table description. Inserts a description of the table, which consists of the table
expression stripped of measurement levels, statistics specifications, and “/TABLE.”
If variable labels are available, they are used instead of variable names in the table
expression.
