CTABLES /PCOMPUTE: HI vs. HIGH Keyword in EXPR

  • 1.  CTABLES /PCOMPUTE: HI vs. HIGH Keyword in EXPR

    From the CTABLES , PCOMPUTE documentation:

    The following keywords are supported in the expression: LO, THRU, HIGH, MISSING, and OTHERNM. If a range is specified, it must appear in square brackets (for example, &x=EXPR([LO THRU HIGH]) or &x=EXPR([1 THRU 5])).

    On my system (Stats V28) 

    /PCOMPUTE &cat2 = EXPR([1 THRU HIGH]) 

    yields an  

    "CTables Subcommand PCOMPUTE. Invalid expression for computed category &cat2"

    error and no table, while 

    /PCOMPUTE &cat2 = EXPR([1 THRU HI])

    works.

    I get by, but I suspect this may be a buglet in the documentation.

    As I was reading your note, I was thinking, "HIGH"? I think it's HI."

    Then I got to the bottom of your note. :)

    Thanks for catching this.
