774 INFO<br />

Basic Specification<br />

• The minimum specification is the command name. When specified by itself, the program<br />

displays an overview of available documents.<br />

<strong>Syntax</strong> Rules<br />

• Multiple keywords and/or procedure names can be specified on a single INFO command.<br />

• Multiple procedure names must be separated by slashes.<br />

• The order of specifications is unimportant and does not affect the order in which the<br />

documentation is printed.<br />

• Three- or four-character truncation does not apply to INFO command specifications. Spell<br />

all keywords in full. For procedure names, spell the first word in full and subsequent<br />

words through at least the first three characters.<br />

Operations<br />

Example<br />

• By default, the INFO command produces update information only for the current release.<br />

Documentation for earlier releases may also be available; read the INFO overview to find<br />

out whether it is available on your system.<br />

• If overlapping sets of information are requested, only one copy is printed.<br />

• If there is no available documentation for the requested information, only a copyright<br />

page is printed.<br />

• If information is requested for an unrecognized topic, the program prints an error message.<br />

• The characteristics of the output produced by the INFO command may vary by computer<br />

type. As implemented at SPSS Inc., the output includes carriage control, with the maximum<br />

length of a page determined by the LENGTH subcommand on SET. A printer width of 132<br />

characters is assumed for some examples, although the text is generally much narrower.<br />

• The program requires more computer resources than most printing utilities. Your installation<br />

may therefore provide an alternative method for printing INFO documentation. In<br />

this case, the INFO command may simply provide instructions for using the alternative<br />

method.<br />

INFO OVERVIEW FACILITIES FREQUENCIES / CROSSTABS.<br />

• INFO produces an overview and documentation for any changes made to system facilities<br />

and to the FREQUENCIES and CROSSTABS procedures.<br />

• Because the keyword SINCE is not specified, INFO prints only documentation for the<br />

current release.
