Example

COUNT QLOW=Q1 TO Q10 (LO THRU 0)
/QSYSMIS=Q1 TO Q10 (SYSMIS).
• Assuming that there are 10 variables between and including Q1 and Q10 in the working
data file, QLOW ranges from 0 to 10, depending on the number of times a case has a negative
or 0 value across the variables Q1 to Q10.
• QSYSMIS ranges from 0 to 10, depending on how many system-missing values are
encountered for Q1 to Q10 for each case. User-missing values are not counted.
• Both QLOW and QSYSMIS are numeric variables and have F8.2 formats.

Example

COUNT SVAR=V1 V2 (’male ’) V3 V4 V5 (’female’).
• SVAR ranges from 0 to 5, depending on the number of times a case has a value of male
for V1 and V2 and a value of female for V3, V4, and V5.
• SVAR is a numeric variable with an F8.2 format.
