Hi
Syntax is often used in this list because it is a quick and easy way to
explain a problem and/or solution. (For instance, syntax works in any
version (French, German, etc) of SPSS whereas menu names and options
obviously change with languages).
More importantly, syntax is the true language of SPSS. As far as I am
concerned it is just about impossible to efficiently do data analysis using
only the GUI. Syntax, macros and scripts generate huge productivity gains.

Just out of curiousity, what's the advantage of writing syxtanx like this
when the program Explore produces this information and much more?

It's like this,
FREQUENCIES
VARIABLES=VARIABLE OF INTEREST
/STATISTICS=MEDIAN
/ORDER= ANALYSIS .
You can also include Mean, Maximum, Minimum, Mode etc.
Thanks,

Hi all:
Is there a median function in SPSS? Without aggregating, etc. Like a
subfunction in compute or something?
Thanks,
