DETAILS If a SPREAD SHEET procedure is executed before a FREQUENCIES procedure then that second procedure does not produce any output. In the example below the file FREQS1a.TXT is not created by the first retrieval. In both cases the tabulate output is created. EXAMPLE PROGRAM retrieval . process cases . process record employee . get vars all . perform procs . end record . end case . SPREAD SHEET VARIABLES = NAME GENDER SSN TITLE = "Spreadsheet First" . FREQUENCIES INTEGER = EDUC (1 , 6) / FILENAME = "FREQS1a.TXT" / TITLE = 'Education Levels in Company' / STATISTICS = ALL / . TABULATE HEADER = (GENDER) FILENAME = 'TABLE1A.HTM' end retrieval retrieval . process cases . process record employee . get vars all . perform procs . end record . end case . FREQUENCIES INTEGER = EDUC (1 , 6) / FILENAME = "FREQS1b.TXT" / TITLE = 'Education Levels in Company' / STATISTICS = ALL / . SPREAD SHEET VARIABLES = NAME GENDER SSN TITLE = "Spreadsheet Second" . TABULATE HEADER = (GENDER) FILENAME = 'TABLE1B.HTM' end retrieval WORKAROUND Move the SPREAD SHEET procedure to after the FREQUENCIES.
