It sounds to me like you need to use the AGGREGATE command, and *then* use PRINT to output the data. But you don't say which variable you want to be your catagorical variable so I can't provide an example for you.

The User Guide is not much help, with regard to either, unless you understand technospeak. References to transformations and procedures do not mean thing to me. More to the point, how are both used? I am trying to create a frequency distribution in order to carry the results through to some charting software, where I have control over the presentation of the output. If I use the following (taken from SPSS/PC+ by John Hedderson), for example: DATA LIST / ID 1-2 EDUC 3-4 SEX 5 HAPPY 6. BEGIN DATA. 010912 021223 031521 041222 050611 061612 071522 081612 091821 101412 111321 121611 130922 141212 151221 161821 170821 181222 191613 20142 END DATA. MISSING VALUES EDUC (-9) HAPPY SEX (0). LIST. FREQUENCIES EDUC HAPPY. PRINT (I copied this OUTFILE = 'testfile' bit from various TABLE websites.) /EDUC SEX HAPPY. EXECUTE. QUIT. Instead of the frequency distribution I want, I get: 9 1 2 12 2 3 15 2 1 12 2 2 6 1 1 16 1 2 15 2 2 16 1 2 18 2 1 14 1 2 13 2 1 16 1 1 9 2 2 12 1 2 12 2 1 18 2 1 8 2 1 12 2 2 16 1 3 14 2 . The output file 'pspp.list' is fine on the screen in PSPP but is barely usable in a text editor, because it contains repeated letters and control characters. What is the solution, please?
