Hi, Daan & listers,

Just save the syntax. Next time you generate a multiple response set, set up a multiple response Frequencies and then hit the PASTE button, which saves the syntax into a Syntax window. Here's an example:

MULT RESPONSE GROUPS=$cond 'Pre-existing Conditions' (iacond1 iacond2 iacond3 iacond4 iacond5 iacond6 iacond7 iacond8 (1)) /FREQUENCIES=$cond .

If you own the Custom Tables module, use that instead if you want tables with the "pretty" format instead of the "draft" output. Also, if you ever copy & paste the tables into another package, say Excel for graphing, use Custom Tables instead in order to get the data to land properly in Excel (rather than all in one cell). Here's another example syntax:

* Multiple Response Tables. TABLES /FORMAT BLANK MISSING('') /MDGROUP $cond 'Pre-Existing Conditions' iacond1 iacond2 iacond3 iacond4 iacond5 iacond6 iacond7 iacond8 ( 1 ) /GBASE=CASES /TABLE=$cond .

HTH, Carol
