Dear Art,
Thank you for prompt reply

Yes analysis is more complicated that is why I am not satisfied with only
SPLIT.

Even more to that, I have a set of dependent and independent variables and
to avoid writing a code of the same stat procedures for each combination of
variables and then correcting ALL of them (any correction to the procedure
syntax code) I wanted to write one procedure and apply it to different
combinations of variables and for different subsets.

Actually in my question I should have mentioned that I am looking for a
COMMAND that will introduce
different variables from the list of variables as well, f.e. var1 var2 var3
... var10

t-test var1 by sex.
then
t-test var2 by sex
and so on.

Thank you,

Eduard.
