Count-creating elements
Count-creating elements are the basis of any table since they can tell you how many respondents gave a response. There are several statements that create numeric elements; which you use depends on the type of data to be read and the complexity of the condition defining eligibility for inclusion in the element. Statements are:
n01
Used for simple or complex conditions.
n15
Same as n01 except that the element is not printed.
n10
Creates a base for percentaging.
n11
Same as n10 except that the element is not printed.
col
Used for simple conditions.
val
Used for numeric data.
fld
Used for numeric codes.
bit
A variant of fld.
For information on col, val, fld and bit statements, see More about axes.
