Hello, you may change it into a small macro:

* Define the macro name as "vartitle" with a token as "inlist". DEFINE !vartitle (inlist = !ENCLOSE("(",")")). !DO !I !IN (!inlist). TABLES /FORMAT BLANK MISSING('.') /TABLES !I BY (STATISTICS) /TITLE !QUOTE(!I) . !DOEND . !ENDDEFINE .

* Evoke the macro with the variable of your choice. !vartitle inlist = (income). EXE .

<><><><><> If you have multiple varialbe, just expand the "inlist", e.g. !vartitle inlist = (income gender education ethnicity). EXE.

Then you should be able to get the tables.

Hope this helps.
