Qure,
Apparently you want a ratio between totals or means, not a ratio for each
particular case.
The ratio of Var1 to Var2 for each particular case is a new variable created
through COMPUTE, as in:
COMPUTE VAR3=VAR1/VAR2.
The ratio of two totals (or two means, or two other aggregate measures) can
be obtained with the DIVIDE function in the REPORT command.
