the SUMMARIZE command includes the follwing statistics:

[/CELLS= [MEAN] [COUNT**] [STDDEV] [MEDIAN] [GMEDIAN] [SEMEAN] [SUM ] [MIN] [MAX] [RANGE] [VARIANCE] [KURT] [SEKURT] [SKEW] [SESKEW] [FIRST] [LAST] [NPCT] [SPCT] [NPCT(var)][SPCT(var)] [HARMONIC] [GEOMETRIC] [DEFAULT] [ALL] [NONE] ]

Unfortunately CINTERVAL 95 (and others) of the statistics of EXAMINE are not included in the SUMMARIZE command. On the other hand you have some statistics in SUMMARIZE command available that you will not get through the EXAMINE command (such as the geometric mean for example).
