Hi Team,

I have 2 questions :

(1) How can we compress the below select if command ?
Select if age = 1 or age = 2 or age =3 or age =4.

execute.
I mean can we do the transformation like this ( or some other cool way to do this problem ):

Define age () 1 2 3 4.
!ENDDEFINE.
Select if age.
Execute.

(2) Aggregate command :
Define Demogs () Age !ENDDEFINE.

AGGREGATE
  /OUTFILE=* MODE=ADDVARIABLES
  /BREAK=q1 Demogs
  /v18_mean=MEAN(v18) 
  /v19_mean=MEAN(v19).

How can we use the above aggregate function for multiple demogs such as TOJ,GENDER,AGE?

Define Demogs() TOJ GENDER AGE !ENDDEFINE.

I want syntax that would first go to first demog i.e TOJ and once aggregate is completed it go to second demog and goes on...( NOTE : I want data breaked by only one demog  at one time )

Thanks in advance !
