I am resending this query one more time.  Sorry to inconvenience any
readers.
 
Speaking of CV, I need help on writing syntax (was away too long, what
little I learned is now gone).
 
How do I write syntax to compute the CV.  I can't figure out how to use the
function in the Compute window.  I have a data file of element variables:
Na, Fe, K, and so on with the listed values of each case.  How do I write a
syntax to compute the CV for each element, saving me the time of hand
calculating this equation: CV = 100 times SD/Mean (for each separate
element)?
 
Thanks again!
