Details:

In Crosstabus, Missing categories are not printed even if this is explicity
set in syntax

So you have some data: e.g. 

var1 <-  c1 c1 c1 c2 c2 c2 
var2 <-  d1 d1 d1 d1 d1 d1

d2 dont exist in data, but it exists as category in data labels. 

PSPP will not print it and will omit it! 

However, when you are a statistician, and you would like to process multiple
tables, this is awful, because you must searching which categories are missing
per individual table... 

This is taking huge amount of time! However, if even the missing category was
printed... voila! All tables can be arrange easily in calc sheet... and you
can make beautiful graphs to display their percentages.... 


e.g.

CROSSTABS
        /TABLES= var1 BY var2
        /MISSING=INCLUDE
        /FORMAT=TABLES
        /STATISTICS=CHISQ
        /CELLS=TOTAL.

Sincerely,
Elias Tsolis
Statistician
