In PSP 1.2.0. Confirmed on Gentoo 4.14.83.
Description:
Manual entry 12.4 COUNT indicates syntax as
COUNT var_name = var… (value…).
This is correct, but incomplete. This might be better:
COUNT var_name = var… (value…) [/var_name=...]
That's not perfectly accurate, either. But it's close to the SPSS
manual, and probably gets the idea across better than
COUNT var_name = var… (value…) [/var_name = var… (value…)] ...
which kinda makes yer eyes cross. Anyway, the change is so folks
know that they can do things like
count q1 = x1 to x5 ( 0 thru 24)
/q2 = x1 to x5 (25 thru 49)
/q3 = x1 to x5 (50 thru 74)
/q4 = x1 to x5 (75 thru 99).
I'm just working my way through the manual, as I teach myself PSPP
and SPSS. So, I'm in a good position to catch this sort of stuff. As
always, thank you for your work.
