Requesting suppression
To request suppression of column percentages from small bases, type:
smbase=number;smcol
where number is an integer or real number greater than zero. Specifying a suppression value of 0 or 0.0 effectively switches small percentage suppression off unless you have tables with bases less than zero.
Column suppression is the default, so if you forget to specify the type of percentages you want to suppress this is what Quantum will do. It applies to all types of percentages except row percentages.
To request suppression of row percentages with small bases, type:
smbase=number;smrow
You can, of course, use smcol and smrow together to suppress all percentages from small bases.
